Faculty of Business

Hong Kong is one of the major hubs of the world economy. The city has grown into a global economic powerhouse, focusing on four main drivers, namely financial services, trading and logistics, tourism, and professional services. The Faculty of Business of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University is one of Hong Kong’s largest and most comprehensive business schools. We vigorously pursue academic excellence through a global and interdisciplinary approach to education and research.

PolyU’s Faculty of Business disseminates knowledge and insights through its three constituent schools and departments, namely the School of Accounting and Finance, the Department of Logistics and Maritime Studies, and the Department of Management and Marketing. Our community consists of more than 170 academics from around the world, 5,200 students and 55,000 alumni.  

We have attained accreditations from AACSB International (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) and EQUIS (EFMD Quality Improvement System). Our community is dedicated to the pursuit of Innovation-driven Education and Scholarship (IDEAS). We collaborate with stakeholders to create a positive societal impact sustainably, with a focus on Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. Through our educational programmes, partnerships, and close connections with industry and the professional community, we aim to share knowledge and technology with the wider community.

To maintain currency of our academic programmes and specialist consultancy services, our faculty members conduct pioneering and impactful research within and across their disciplines, supported by our Case Consortium and centres for branding and marketing, digital transformation, economic sustainability and entrepreneurial finance, financial technology, leadership and innovation, maritime data and sustainable development, and shipping and logistics. Our research has been ranked 41st globally in the UTD Top 100 Worldwide Business School Rankings based on Research Contributions 2019-2023.

Our comprehensive portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, many of which are endorsed by professional bodies, encompass key areas such as accounting, aviation, business artificial intelligence, ESG, finance, logistics, management, maritime, marketing, shipping, and transport. Alongside the BBA, MBA, DBA/DMgt, DBAI, DFinTech, and specialized master’s degrees, our research programmes also lead to the PhD qualifications.
