About our Masters Programmes

The HKU Business School Masters Programmes extends over a minimum of one academic year and a maximum of two academic years for full-time study. Most students tend to finish the programme in  one academic year.

Courses are offered on a  modular basis  to allow students to focus on one area of study at a time. There are 6 modules in one academic year and each module is six to eight weeks long, including the examination week.

Students usually take 2-3 courses per module and there are usually two lectures for each course weekly.

Students in MCGRM usually take 5 courses per semester and there are usually 1-2 lecture(s) for each course weekly.

The HKU Business School Masters Programmes will be taught in English.

Assessment of each course may include assignments, mid-term examinations, project papers and other course work, as well as a final examination, which is normally held at the end of each course unless otherwise specified.

Please refer to individual programme for specific requirements on number of courses/credits required.

Students who have failed a course are required to retake the course, or to take another course as a substitute if the failed course is an elective. Students who need to repeat a core course outside the normative study period or take another elective course as a substitute are required to pay a repeating fee or an additional course fee.

In order to graduate, the total number of failures cannot exceed two in the entire period of study and a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above must be achieved.
