The Center was opened in 2005 on Financial Street in Beijing to provide much-needed international executive training to the burgeoning financial industry following China’s accession to the WTO. The Beijing Center is supported by the Beijing International Financial Training Center, which coordinates executive development matters for Financial Street. It provides the facilities to teach and develop the human capital working in Beijing and its neighborhood. It also provides an important base to facilitate faculty research related to China.

Beijing Center complements the University’s other strategic establishments on the Mainland, such as the Nansha IT Park in Guangdong, the Zhejiang Advanced Manufacturing Institute of HKUST in Hangzhou, the representative office of the Business School in Shanghai and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Industrial, Educational and Research Institution.

The Center features purpose-built executive training facilities, including a classroom with a capacity for 50, break-out rooms, a lounge area and offices. It organizes both customized programs for companies and programs for open enrollment.

Located at the heart of Shanghai, the office handles liaison and promotional functions for HKUST Business School programs. It also runs seminars and short term courses.

The School has an office in Shenzhen based in the Industrial, Education and Research Institution. The office provides administrative support and promotional functions for the School in Shenzhen. The office also provides support to the Shenzhen Class of the MBA program.

Business School Central hosts business education activities as well as alumni and public relations events. It has been supported in part by the MBA Alumni Fund, set up in 2004 to enrich student learning and enhance teaching facilities.

Housed high up in the Hong Kong Club Building in the heart of the financial hub and with a sweeping view of Victoria Harbor, the location comes with fully-equipped classrooms, Internet access, a conference room and comfortable lounge area. It fulfills the need for a downtown venue to provide students and alumni with a convenient place to meet and interact.
