The collaboration sees CUHK Business School become the first business school as the authorized exam center for Microsoft Certifications in Hong Kong


Microsoft Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School have formed a strategic partnership to nurture the development of digital skillsets that will be vital for future success in business.


The collaboration sees CUHK Business School become the first business school as the authorized exam center for Microsoft Certifications in Hong Kong







CUHK Business School is the first business school in Hong Kong to become a Certiport Authorized Testing Center, where students can obtain industry-recognized Microsoft Certifications starting in the new academic year, available to over 3,000 CUHK Business School students.


The partnership gives CUHK Business School students access to Microsoft Fundamentals courses designed to equip them with in-demand digital skills in fields including AI, big data and cloud. Training will be administered through the Microsoft Learn online platform. Upon successful course completion and passing the required assessments, students will be awarded with industry-recognized certifications.


With access to the education resources in Microsoft’s AI Business School, CUHK Business School will orchestrate digital transformation elements in its curriculum design, business case development and academic research enhancement.


CUHK Business School students will also have the opportunity to participate in capstone projects, chartered by Microsoft Hong Kong or its key partners or customers, to translate their knowledge and skills into innovative business solutions in practice.


Cally Chan, General Manager of Microsoft Hong Kong and Macau, added: “As digital transformation gathers pace, business leaders need to be increasingly adept in AI, data science and cloud computing. Microsoft understands that developing a transformation strategy extends far beyond business and technology to leadership and organizational capabilities. Microsoft certifications encompass both the technical and strategic side of transformation, empowering people with practical insights for their unique journey. We are thrilled to support the future-readiness of Hong Kong’s brightest talent through this partnership.”


“As a pioneer in business education in Asia, we are excited to partner with Microsoft to nurture a new generation of tech-savvy leaders ready for the future of work,” said Prof. Lin Zhou, Dean of CUHK Business School. “We are proud to be the first business school in Hong Kong designated as a Certiport Authorized Testing Center to allow our students to acquire the in-demand industry-recognized certifications. The partnership is a testament to our commitment to developing relevant and competent talent and building the digital capabilities of our students to contribute to the digital transformation across different sectors in Hong Kong and beyond.”
