See what our students say about their experience:
Financial Controller, Regal Airport Hotel
ACU MBA
"I was already in senior management when I began my MBA. I wanted to have a more solid business background. Without a masters degree, I felt like I was standing on 5th floor with no foundation below me. I needed a program which was flexible and practical enough that would help me in my job and allow me to study and work at the same time. ACU gave me that program, and the chance to know my classmates. My classmates were great, and we shared a lot of views, experience and interests."
Deputy General Manager - Red Silk Enterprise
ACU MBA
It's very uncompetitive without a master's degree nowadays. ACU enhances my academic standing and personal status with minimal impact on my work, social and family commitments.
Masters degree is becoming very common, and it marks the entry requirement for management positions.
ACU provides me a very well-balance life among my study, work and family. I am happy that I do not fall behind the others to achieve my advanced degree, and let's hope you do not as well. After achieving my master's degree, I feel a higher level of knowledge and personal attainment. This brings me more confidence when I do my job and when I meet with other people. The feeling is great, and I would encourage you to share this same great feeling with me.
Marketing Field
ACU MBA
"After graduating from university, I have over 10 years of work experience. Throughout my working life, I have to deal with many western-based companies and clients. While my job helps me build my professional experience, a US MBA degree helps me further foster my confidence and provide me with contemporary skills to take on even more challenging tasks in the future.
Studying by distance learning while having a full-time job can be difficult. In spite of the difficulty, however, achieving my goal (in getting the MBA degree) is very rewarding! I feel so good when my family is also proud of me."
Merchandising Field
ACU MBA
"To cope with the challenges in business world of today, life-long learning becomes a strong survival tool for all of us, regardless the positions or the fields one is in. The mode of study and class scheduling with ACU MBA program was perfect for a "busy worker" and frequent traveler like myself. I enjoyed meeting my classmates when I was in Hong Kong and I also enjoyed the online study mode that allowed me to complete my course work when I was out of town."
Technical Manager - Synergis Management Services Ltd.
ACU DBA
I have been working in the field of real estates for more than 10 years, and I witness that the progression of the industry from solely service- & information-based to knowledge-based. The practical curriculum and research writings required in the doctoral program consolidate my business knowledge and theories. I would say this program certainly boosts my levels of competency and confidence in dealing with future challenges.
The core strength of this ACU doctoral program is its cost effectiveness in terms of time and money. The materials covered are just appropriate and useful to those working in a fast-paced business world. In addition, the program is manageable. The coursework prepares us toward the dissertation step by step. Now, I am doing a research on Theory of Zero Intervention and its Application to the Real Estate Industry.
I am so glad what I have learnt so far has impacted my career as it helps me to think and brings real business cases to review!
Assistant Vice President of an International Bank
ACU DBA
After my undergraduate studies, I joined the financial and banking industries. In early 1990s, I pursed my MBA degree. In recent years, I notice that Hong Kong is moving toward a knowledge-based economy and there are increasingly more Master and MBA graduates. I know that it is the time to go for further studies.
The ACU doctoral program is it being appropriate, practical, and valuable for me. The case studies, assignments, and dissertations are demanding but not stifling. Before I started the program, I worried that commitment to a doctoral degree would take up all my time, and it might eventually affect my job. Now, I am so glad that what I have learned helped me a lot in my career that the doctoral degree is truly being a propellant rather a burden to my career establishment.
I am very proud of my classmates. They are great. We shared a lot of personal and professional experience in the class. This is definitely my best experiences about this program.
Chairman -WP Holdings Ltd
ACU DBA
Many of my friends, colleagues and classmates felt very surprised when they knew I had taken up this DBA program. To them, a doctoral degree is for someone who should be at the stage of striving for their career development. Of course a doctoral title could be very useful to one's career and, without any doubt, it would greatly enhance his/her personal status. However, it should mean much more than that.
To me, I enjoy picking up the very good feeling of study life after having graduated in my first degree almost 40 years ago. It is very good experience to know new classmates and to share with them the funs of study. I do not just have a chance to achieve the highest academic title, my knowledge in current business practices, and my business and analytical mind also get update and refreshed during the course.
Besides its flexibility and practicality, a very important unique point of this doctoral program is that you can actually finish the degree without affecting your other commitments, in terms of family, personally, and socially. Before I started this program, I had worry about not being able to complete it but I appreciate the way how the program is designed. It is very well suited the busy working people, and my family and friends, including myself, are so happy to see that I almost made it, having already completed 10 DBA courses and will present the dissertation within 6 months.
I am also very proud of my classmates. They are great and we shared a lot of things, not only on personal and professionally experiences, but also memorable events throughout the journey. This is really an achievement! I will recommend this doctoral program to people who also want to strive for success - both for career achievements and for enhancement of personal status.
