Msc 2.0 Transformation

HKU Business School’s fully upgraded Masters Programmes 2.0 (MSc 2.0) will launch in the 2026-2027 academic year. Featuring greater curricular flexibility, an expanded portfolio of programmes, and enriched global learning experiences, MSc 2.0 aims to equip students with the agility and skills required to thrive in an ever‑changing business environment.

HKU Business School Masters Programmes will offer a two-year standard curriculum structure, with tuition fees remaining unchanged, providing students with more time for academic exploration and career preparation.

In the second year, students may flexibly choose to pursue an interdisciplinary track,  study and undertake internships at HKU’s Global Centres, join in-depth career training and activities to have a better planning for their career path. 

Students may opt to complete the entire programme within one year, tailoring their study pace accordingly. The two-year structure will enable students to immerse fully in campus life, forge closer ties with faculty and peers, and enjoy a more fulfilling study experience.

Students may undertake a three-month study period at HKU Global Centres in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Barcelona. During this period, they may undertake locally tailored courses or Capstone Projects in collaboration with local enterprises. Whilst attending lectures by industry leaders and visiting companies on site, they will gain cross-cultural experience and support with local internships.

The school has expanded Capstone Projects to 11 Masters Programmes, encouraging more students to work with organisations and apply classroom learning to real life scenarios. Nearly 100 projects are currently underway, with past partners including HSBC, Tencent and Microsoft.

As the core of this upgrade, HKU Business School is introducing Interdisciplinary Tracks to help students transcend the boundaries of a single discipline by selecting courses from other Masters Programmes within the school, tailoring their learning journey around their interests, strengths, and career aspirations. Through interdisciplinary learning, students not only deepen expertise in their chosen field, but also broaden their perspectives, sharpen their ability to address complex, cross‑disciplinary business challenges, and build a stronger, more competitive foundation for future careers in an increasingly interconnected world.

Taking the Interdisciplinary Track in AI in Business as an example, students who are not enrolled in the Master of Artificial Intelligence in Business programme can still access selected AI‑focused courses from its curriculum. This allows them to integrate AI knowledge with their primary discipline—enhancing their ability to collaborate across domains and apply AI thinking in real‑world business contexts.

🔹Curriculum structure: 30 credits (five 6-credit courses) in total, including 12 credits of core courses and 18 credits of elective courses

🔹Eligibility: All HKU Business School Masters students enrolled from the 2026-27 academic year

🔹Tuition: Additional tuition applies, with discounted rates offered for Interdisciplinary Track courses

We are pleased to introduce our new Pokfield Campus, scheduled to be ready from September 2027. Equipped with advanced learning facilities, the campus offers a significant upgrade in both environment and resources, creating a more diverse and world-class learning experience for our students.

By combining interdisciplinary study, global learning, and flexible curriculum structures, MSc 2.0 aims to offer a richer, more supportive platform for student development – nurturing professional growth, cross-sector perspectives, and future leadership skills.
