Think Differently in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is the gateway to Asia’s fastest-growing markets, and Booth has been in the region for decades.

To study business in Hong Kong as part of a Chicago Booth education is to be at the intersection of East and West.

It’s a dynamic place where global finance meets the fastest-growing economies on earth, and where the companies, institutions, and leaders shaping the future of global business are within reach.

At our campus in Hong Kong, you are surrounded by peers from across the Asia–Pacific (APAC) region and beyond, with access to a network and a set of opportunities that no US-only program can replicate. Here’s what being part of it means for your education, your network, and your career.

Chicago Booth’s Hub in Hong Kong. A Gateway to APAC.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club University of Chicago Academic Complex | The University of Chicago Francis and Rose Yuen Campus in Hong Kong anchors Chicago Booth’s Asia presence at one of the most strategically significant locations in the world. It’s home to the Sokolov Executive MBA Program in Asia, Executive Education programs, and the Hong Kong Jockey Club Programme on Social Innovation.

Booth is consistently ranked among the world’s top business schools, home to 10 Nobel Prize winners in Economic Sciences, and the birthplace of The Chicago Approach™—a way of thinking that has shaped how leaders make decisions for decades.

For students who come here, this campus is an entry point into a network and an intellectual tradition that reaches across the entire APAC region and compounds over a career.

What Studying in Hong Kong Actually Gives You

What Studying in Hong Kong Actually Gives You

Hong Kong is where Chicago Booth’s Asian campus puts students at the center of one of the world’s most consequential business cities—with direct access to the companies, leaders, and opportunities shaping the future of global business.

You’re at the Center of Asia’s Most Influential Business Community.

Hong Kong brings together the Asian headquarters of the world’s leading banks, asset managers, investment firms, and multinational corporations—creating one of the most concentrated gatherings of institutional expertise and executive influence anywhere on earth. For EMBA students and executives, that means engaging with peers and institutions at the level where consequential decisions are made. For those building careers in global finance and professional services, it means access to the firms and opportunities that can define what comes next.

A Global Cohort. Richer Thinking.

The Sokolov EMBA Program in Hong Kong represents professionals from across APAC and beyond—executives who have built businesses in mainland China, navigated regulatory environments across Southeast Asia, and led organizations in markets that don’t appear in any US case study. When that is the room you’re learning in, the quality of the conversation changes. Proximity to the world’s fastest-growing markets doesn’t just expand your network—it fundamentally changes how you think about leadership, risk, and global opportunity.

A Network Across the Region. All Connected. All Accessible.

Booth alumni live and work across the APAC region—from Hong Kong to Singapore to Sydney to Mumbai—in financial centers, government institutions, and growing companies shaping the future of the region. Through alumni clubs, regional networking events, and a community of graduates who share a way of thinking, that network is organized, accessible, and active. For students who study in Hong Kong, it begins forming from the first week and follows them everywhere they go.

Why Study Business in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong is one of the world’s leading financial centers and Asia’s premier hub for international business, making it one of the best places in the world to study business.

As a free-market economy with deep connections to mainland China and Southeast Asia, it sits at the intersection of the world’s most dynamic growth markets, giving students direct exposure to the economic forces reshaping global business in real time.

A business school in Hong Kong puts you in daily contact with the executives, entrepreneurs, and institutions driving that change. And at Booth, that access extends well beyond the classroom and across the entire APAC region.

Booth’s Impact Across APAC

Booth’s presence in the APAC region is measured in the leaders, researchers, and networks it has built—a community that spans the region’s most important markets and grows every year.

More Than a Campus. A Commitment to the Region.

More Than a Campus. A Commitment to the Region.

Booth’s partnership with the Hong Kong Jockey Club is a longstanding commitment to the region that shows up in real outcomes.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Programme on Social Innovation is operated by Booth’s Rustandy Center for Social Sector Innovation. It equips Hong Kong’s nongovernmental organization leaders with the business skills, strategic mentorship, and board-level governance expertise they need to increase their organizations’ impact, connecting the analytical rigor of a Chicago Booth education directly to the communities the city serves.

Through faculty-led workshops, mentorship matching, and board-placement programs, Booth has invested in the social fabric of Hong Kong in ways no other American business school has. That’s what a genuine, long-term commitment to a region looks like.

Research That Extends Across the Region

Booth faculty don’t just study the APAC region—their research shapes how it operates. Chang-Tai Hsieh’s work on China’s economy has illuminated how politically connected business networks have driven decades of growth, and what that means for the country’s economic future. Amir Sufi’s research on household debt in China and South Korea has raised important questions about boom-bust cycles in two of the region’s most consequential economies. And Raghuram Rajan, former governor of the Reserve Bank of India, has argued for a distinctly Indian path to prosperity built on human capital and innovation rather than manufacturing-led growth.

The Cai–Xue FIR brings Booth’s world-class faculty directly to Hong Kong, embedding leading researchers and teachers at the campus to engage with students, the business community, and the broader APAC intellectual environment. For students in the region, it means direct access to the same faculty excellence that defines the Booth experience in Chicago, in the city where they’re building their careers.

More than 4,100 Booth alumni live and work across the APAC region, leading organizations, building companies, and shaping industries from Hong Kong to Singapore to Sydney to Mumbai. They gather through alumni clubs and regional networking events that bring the Booth community together across Asia, creating the kind of in-person connections that turn a shared intellectual tradition into a lasting professional network. Wherever a Booth graduate goes in the APAC region, the community follows.
