Building on their existing partnership, London Business School (LBS) and Columbia Business School (CBS) have announced a new addition to their top-ranked EMBA-Global program. With the launch of EMBA-Global Asia, the two schools will partner with the University of Hong Kong to create the first program offering business education and networking opportunities that link the global financial hubs of Hong Kong, London and New York.
As a portal to mainland China, Hong Kong seemed a natural place for expansion of the EMBA-Global program. And the University of Hong Kong, too, seemed the perfect partner, given its respected international reputation, strong academic programs and state-of-the-art facilities.
The ideal candidates for this new EMBA-Global Asia program are high-potential, globally-focused executives and managers, primarily based in Asia, who are passionate about the opportunities offered by Asia’s rapid economic development.
The 20-month course will include intensive MBA classes taught in New York, London, Hong Kong and Shanghai, as well as additional study in other international regions. Teaching will be divided equally among faculty from each of the three partner schools.
Students who complete the program will receive a joint MBA degree awarded by Columbia University, London Business School, and the University of Hong Kong – complete with access to the alumni networks of all three schools.
The inaugural class, made up of approximately 50 students, will begin in May 2009.
