Global Operations

The HKUST MSGO program aims to provide a distinctive postgraduate education to qualified students who have already completed a recognized bachelor degree  and are interested in managing business operations on a global scale. 

The program is developed to address the unique requirements of global operations. It draws on the latest research and is benchmarked to ensure that prospective graduates acquire both the knowledge and skills to manage global operations and work effectively in culturally diverse and competitive marketplaces. It introduces students to operations management practices and technologies that have been proved to be critical in the success and transformation of leading companies, and it prepares students in the qualitative aspects of working in cross-cultural settings.

Our expectation is that graduates of the program will disseminate their learning and understanding of global operations and help improve the competitiveness of the multinational companies.
