HKUST is the traditional leader for the full-time MBA.

Would you also have any idea about the kind of career support both colleges provide (for internships and job placement)? I believe HKUST has a career centre but it’s not very effective?&nbsp;

I don't know these schools as well as Duncan but a big factor for HKUST is that the student quality is higher and the brand equity is greater. The outcomes show that HKUST gets into more desirable employers, with higher salaries, and performs better in internships. The lower score for the HKUST careers services reflects both higher expectations at HKUST and strong performance at HKU. The careers reports look very similar. My concern with HKU is that you spend a trimester abroad, and that makes it harder to network into a job in HK. The 16-month format at HKUST seems like the ideal choice for moving to HK, as you can take two internships.&nbsp;
