EMBA reveals other sides of business world

After a decade or more in the corporate world, high-flying executives often realise the best way to keep their careers moving forward is to go back to school. 

They may be already be leading teams, running projects and overseeing sizeable budgets, but a candid self-appraisal shows they don't yet have the full range of skills and experience to be in contention for significantly wider roles and responsibilities. Something extra is needed if they hope to take the next big step. 

Iris Liu found herself in exactly that position back in 2017, and that’s why she signed up for the two-year EMBA at CUHK Business School. Having completed the programme in July this year, she has no hesitation in saying it is one of the best decisions she ever made. 

“The course was great, and it also helped me realise the sky is the limit,” says Liu, who is now executive group director with leading advertising firm Ogilvy. “You really grow, not just in academic terms and in your understanding the business world, but by becoming a better person too.”
