SHTM Welcomes Inaugural Master of Science in International Wine Management Class
Thirty-one passionate and enthusiastic students were recently warmly welcomed to the inaugural
MSc in International Wine Management programme offered by the SHTM.
The selected cohort of students admitted to the inaugural 2015/2016 MSc programme are holders of Bachelor's, Master's and doctoral degrees from institutions of higher education in the USA, UK, France, the Netherlands, Malaysia, mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia.
Delivered in Hong Kong, the MSc in International Wine Management programme is one of a kind in the region. As a key player in the vibrant international wine scene, Hong Kong offers a unique location for anyone aspiring to be a part of this dynamic growth area. Combined with the huge expansion of the wine market in mainland China, the need for wine professionals with advanced, specialised education and a global perspective continues to grow. The programme is designed
to meet that demand.
Taught by leading academics, including Professor Jeannie Cho Lee, Professor of Practice (Wine) at the SHTM and the first Asian Master of Wine, as well as industry experts, this new MSc programme aims to groom industry leaders, educators and researchers by deepening their understanding of the latest trends in the wine business and empowering them to lead the industry's future development.
The programme features residential study trips, providing a chance for students to visit Burgundy or Bordeaux in France next year to understand the best practices in wine production, trade and management, with a view to increasing their international exposure and developing global networks. At the same time, they will have the opportunity to learn more about mainland Chinese wine consumers and gain insights into some of the fastest growing, potentially lucrative wine
markets in the world.
Based in the heart of the booming Asia-Pacific region, the SHTM believes that it is best placed to provide international education to meet the specific demands of a truly global wine industry.
