HKUST's this "easy" master's might suit me better
HKUST MSc TLE (Technology Leadership and Entrepreneurship)
Many famous MBA admissions
don't care about academic performance
because MBA has always been
a circle label for high-net-worth people
Must set high tuition to filter
Class isn't the goal—networking and title are
Management knowledge is even less valuable in the AI era
500k for 100 classes
5k per class
absolutely sky-high
Look at HKU MBA requirements
IELTS 6 with 5.5s is enough
No undergrad grades
GMAT can be waived
Basically pay to get in
Means you learn nothing
The filtered circle and classmates
are mostly non-doers and opportunists
Not suited to an engineer background
No networking ability
Worse mismatch with ideal values
Plus 500k is only one-time cost
Time cost and opportunity cost behind it
No need to bleed big for a hollow name now
Full-time HK master's
Many programs teach evenings and weekends
Meaning many mainland students are effectively part-time
Bigger upside like HK work visa
Lower cost than MBA's mandatory full-ticket
Admissions relatively higher
IELTS 7 and GMAT 650+ filter capable people
Better fits values that weigh the process
Basic route set
Half a year to raise English
Next autumn study in Hong Kong
Still live in Shenzhen then
Find a remote-friendly job
Totally OK
