Hong Kong Baptist University
Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), founded as a post-secondary college in 1956, is dedicated to providing comprehensive education and fostering academic excellence. It became a fully-funded public tertiary institution in 1983 and gained university status in 1994. Today, HKBU offers a variety of undergraduate, associate degree, higher diploma, and postgraduate programmes across eight Faculties/Schools. It emphasises both teaching and research, encourages societal contributions, and is recognised as one of Asia’s top higher learning institutions.
School of Business
The School of Business at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has been a leader in Asian business education for over 50 years. HKBU, located at the intersection of Asia and the West, is well-positioned to address global changes such as China’s economic resurgence, globalisation, and the need for ethical standards in the age of sustainability.
The School emphasises business ethics, corporate governance, and corporate social responsibility as key components of corporate sustainability. It aims to create a better business environment through responsible engagement. HKBU was the first university in Hong Kong to join the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) and co-founded the World Business Ethics Forum (WBEF) with the University of Macau. The School of Business combines academic challenges with practical experience, making it an ideal platform for future leaders.
Established in 2016, the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Centre (EIC) aims at supporting the School’s entrepreneurship education. EIC offers seminars, workshops and related activities to encourage, cultivate, and nurture the entrepreneurial culture and atmosphere among students.
International Accreditation
The School of Business, Hong Kong Baptist University and Grenoble Ecole de Management are both triple-accredited by the three largest and most influential business school accreditation associations: the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).
As of November 2015, less than 1% of management schools in the world were awarded this TRIPLE CROWN STATUS. The multiple accreditations showcased the Schools’ commitment to excellence.
