To foster an international outlook amongst business students, the unique Bachelor-to-Master (B2M) network helps undergraduates pursue a master’s degree at a member institution overseas. The network provides individual support, a waiver of application fees, and advantages such as a guaranteed invitation to an admission interview. This makes it easier for undergraduate students to join a master’s program overseas.
The B2M network gives participating students the opportunity to experience different cultural and academic settings. The knowledge gained enables students to navigate an international environment when they graduate.
“An international outlook is a very important element of the education we provide, so we really want to encourage our students to take this opportunity,” says Chris TSANG, Head of School Development and MSc Program Director at the HKUST Business School. “If students are aiming to pursue a higher degree outside of Hong Kong, this will certainly be of use to them. It also brings more diversity to the MSc programs we offer.”
The program was founded on the idea that business students who graduate from multiple international institutions will be ready to navigate an international environment at the very start of their careers. This appeals to employers, as such students are more able to tackle critical challenges.
“More and more companies are looking for people who embrace or have developed global mobility,” says Tsang.
Prepare to work in different places
“Companies are increasingly looking for candidates who want to stay and work in different places. We want to prepare our students to better meet the challenges of mobility, as we predict this will become ever more important,” Tsang says.
