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, 4,900 students and 54,000 alumni.  

We have attained accreditations from AACSB (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 engage stakeholders to deliver societal impact in a sustainable way, with a focus on Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. We realise knowledge and technology transfer through educational programmes, as well as partnership and close links with industry and the professional community.

To maintain the currency of our academic programmes and specialist consultancy services, Faculty members undertake practical research, both within and across their disciplines, facilitated by the Faculty’s centres for research in branding and marketing, business technology and innovation, digital transformation, fintech, leadership and innovation, logistics, maritime studies, shipping, sustainability and web 3.0 AI. Our research has been ranked 52nd in the world (The University of Texas at Dallas Top 100 Worldwide Business School Rankings based on Research Contributions 2018-2022).

The Faculty offers a comprehensive portfolio of programmes. Apart from the BBA, MBA, DBA, DFinTech, DMgt and specialized master’s degrees, there are also research programmes leading to MPhil and PhD awards.
