Cities are setting the world’s trends. The world’s largest cities are not only centers of commerce and trade, but also of culture and creativity. They set the styles the rest of us follow, and offer front-row seats for those wanting to see the emergence of game-changing business ideas and global trends.
Globalization is connecting everyone and everything. National borders are becoming less and less important. Social media has opened up the world, giving people and businesses the ability to talk to each other constantly. Global is more than just a buzzword—it’s a part of life.
Hult maintains three campuses in the Greater London area.
Technology is changing everything. Today a taxi, dinner, and even a date could all be on your doorstep in less than twenty minutes. The microchip touches everything we do, and its power has not yet been fully realized. Technological advances are not just making us more efficient, they are fundamentally changing how we behave.
Lifelong brand loyalty is a thing of the past. Connectivity, rising consumer influence, time scarcity, and mobile payments are changing where, when and how we shop. New brands can pop up out of nowhere and have a hugely disruptive impact on the market. This means incredible opportunities, but also incredible threats.
Spending time at Hult’s Shanghai campus teaches you to appreciate how influential the Chinese economy is on a global scale.

Global faculty: When hiring new professors, we look for impressive academic credentials and real business experience. But we also strive to find faculty who are passionate about teaching—who want to get up in front of a class and engage and challenge you.
Bringing business theory to life. Unlike many institutions, the primary focus of Hult’s faculty is teaching rather than research. They are proud of their collective successes in the business world and are keen to share their insights and experiences with you. Many have been executives in multinational companies like McKinsey, Coca-Cola, and Credit Suisse. Some have run their own businesses, while others have developed their own patents for goods and services.
Open door policy. Hult’s campuses have been thoughtfully designed so that everyone is easily accessible.The administrative team sit with students so they are always available to you. Similarly, you can walk up to a professor or any other member of faculty at any time to discuss a part of your course. This gives Hult a school-wide spirit of communication and collaboration.
Always there to help. Over the duration of your course, you will come to see your professor as more than just a teacher— our faculty are supportive and inspiring mentors with whom we hope you’ll form friendships that will last well past graduation. The closeness you’ll enjoy with your professors is a hallmark of our unique approach to education. They understand that you are the key stakeholder in your own education and treat you accordingly.
“ Like our students, our professors have an international mindset, with many teaching across multiple campuses. Time and again, our surveys show that what our professors most enjoy is engaging in the classroom and interacting with students.” Nawtej Dosanjh Global Dean, Graduate Programs & Faculty

Global experience: Ram got much more than a degree… As a high-performing scholar with a background in engineering at one of India’s leading consultancies, Ram had his pick of career options. His degree from Hult gave him much more than a qualification… “ Hult helped me to turn my vision into reality. I am the CEO and Founder of a company that provides a platform for non-profits to increase the positive impact of their work. In order to be able to touch many lives, you need to be skilled, confident, and most importantly, be in the right place, at the right time, with the right people. Hult gave me all of those things. Ram Narayanan CEO and Founder, KarmaSnap Ltd India, Master of International Business, Class of 2013
My fellow students brought a great deal of experience and entrepreneurial spirit to the table, and much of what I learned came from my peers and friends. But more than the textbooks, the mentors, and the networks, studying abroad can teach you something that nothing else can—it makes you a better person.”

The Hult Business Challenge: Practical experience
IBM: One of the 2015 CEO Challenges
Put all the business knowledge and leadership skills you learn to the test with this seven-month challenge in which you and your teammates either devise a game-changing idea to solve an existing problem for a major corporation or create a business plan for a startup.
Background: IBM has developed Watson, a supercomputer that is capable of learning and adapting in the same way as humans. IBM calls this capability “cognitive computing,” an advanced form of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Watson gained fame by winning the U.S. quiz show ‘Jeopardy’, and IBM CEO Ginni Rometty has made it a centerpiece of the company’s strategy going forward. She is convinced that Watson and cognitive computing will transform how we live and do business. The power of Watson has already been put to use, transforming the way medical research and the diagnosis of various diseases is done.
Rise to the challenge and make a real impact The key concepts of business can certainly be introduced by a teacher, case study, or textbook. But they cannot truly be mastered until they are grappled with firsthand. The Hult Business Challenge is a seven-month group project to solve a real business problem. It’s designed to help you develop and test innovative ideas that really make a difference— not only in your Masters program but in your future career and beyond.
How it works
A launchpad for your career
The competition starts in Module A, when students form teams and choose a Business Challenge track. In the CEO Challenge, you select a problem set by top executives from major multinationals. In the Startup Challenge, you bring your own idea to life for a new product, service, or social enterprise. Through the seven-month challenge, student teams develop and continually refine their business idea into an actionable plan through mentorship from faculty, discussions with partner companies, research and field testing.
The Hult Business Challenge culminates in a series of regional elimination rounds, in which teams compete head-to-head to advance to the Global Final, held at one of our campuses worldwide. Finalists get to present their business ideas to a panel of esteemed judges comprised of executives, global entrepreneurs, and founders of social enterprises. The challenge isn’t just an academic exercise. It’s often the first step to your dream job or the launchpad for your own startup or social enterprise.
2015 IBM challenge: Create an actionable business idea showing how IBM could put their AI technology to use, and shape future product development strategies using AI systems like Watson. 2015 solutions: One of dozens of ideas for IBM comes from “Team Helpdesk” in Hult London, who tackled the problem of inefficient help desks and call centers that are not customercentric. Their idea was to create a smarter and more helpful desk agent that could eliminate queues, discern and analyze trends, and respond more effectively and efficiently to customer needs. This would allow IBM to create a scalable and commercially viable range of new customer service products for a wide range of industries.

“ There’s a difference between education and experience—and it was experience I wanted. No other Masters program provides students with the opportunity to apply skills like Hult does. The school’s entrepreneurial spirit pushes students to think and do things differently. My startup,Vendedy, follows the eBay/Etsy model of providing an online platform for street vendors to connect with consumers. The Clinton Global Initiative selected us as a 2014 Poverty Alleviation Commitment and we’re now a global finalist for the $1 million Global Chivas Venture Prize for Social Innovation. If we succeed, we have the potential to bring two billion street vendors out of poverty.”

Why choose Boston A historic city with a modern outlook
Make the most of what Boston has to offer
Founded in 1630, Boston is one of America’s most historic cities. Its knowledge-based economy is a direct result of its long history of academic excellence. Greater Boston is home to the headquarters of dozens of biotechnology, healthcare, and pharmaceutical giants. It’s also a hub for tech firms like Google and Facebook, so it is no surprise that the Innovation Cities Global Index consistently rates Boston as one of the world’s most innovative cities.

Boston is one of America’s most historic cities.
Boston in a nutshell The largest city in New England is compact, clean, and easy to get around. With a population of only 650,000, Boston is a small city with a hyper-educated population and an artistic and historical importance far outweighing its size. Boston makes a great base from which to explore the stunning beaches of Cape Cod, as well as the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire. If you are more of a city person, the sights and sounds of New York are just four hours away by train.

Why choose San Francisco Epicenter of the tech world San Francisco is the embodiment of the digitally driven age in which we currently live. The city has long been powered by a startup economy, earning itself a global reputation for creativity and technological wizardry. Having seen a generation of determined entrepreneurs build huge business empires out of garages and college dorm rooms, San Francisco has become the world’s premier destination for those wanting to push the boundaries of the possible.

Throw out the old corporate handbooks A diverse population, startup-driven economy, and a famously informal approach to corporate etiquette mean that many conventional business rules have no place in San Francisco. Although huge corporations tend to get all the headlines, 85% of the companies in the Bay Area have less than ten employees. This blend of small and mighty makes for a unique business environment where forward thinking and creativity are the most highly prized credentials.

London’s supremacy as the commercial capital of Europe has been unrivalled for hundreds of years, yet it has also managed to stay at the forefront of the creative industries. It is an economic powerhouse to be reckoned with, proven by the fact that more multinational companies are headquartered here than in any other European city.
Why choose London
Hult London
Welcome to the world’s most international city
There’s more to London than banks
People from almost 200 countries call London home and you can hear over 300 languages spoken on its streets. Cultural differences are openly embraced by London’s inhabitants, so it doesn’t take long to feel at home. The city’s business landscape is as international as its population. Over 250 foreign banks have branches, and 588 foreign companies are listed on the London Stock Exchange. The world has a very real stake in London, and London, in turn, thrives on its international reputation.
Centuries of economic success, an established reputation as a global financial hub, and a distinguished history of academic excellence gives London the confidence to be creative. Its distinctive brand of music, fashion, art, and film continues to set global trends. 70% of Europe’s top advertising agencies have offices in London, and careers in marketing are increasingly popular. In recent years, a vibrant startup scene has boomed around Old Street and is fast forging itself a reputation as a world leader in the technology sector. The growth of alternative career options really does mean that that the world is your oyster if you choose to make London your home after completing your studies.
“ During my time at Hult London, I spent many long nights studying, explored an amazing city, and started a student club—all while working with, and learning from, some of the most talented and knowledgeable people in my industry. This is not an experience I could’ve found at any other school—Hult offers the most unique graduate study opportunity in the world.” Kathryn Green Director of Digital Marketing, Attract China Australia, Master of International Marketing, Class of 2013

Explore London—one of the world’s most exciting cities. Our campus is at the intersection of London’s academic, creative, and financial districts.
The Hult London Campus Sharing business know-how
Hult’s graduate campus borders the academic heartland of Bloomsbury, which has the highest concentration of universities in London, and Holborn, a global media, marketing, and advertising hub. The financial district is a short distance away, and if you head eastwards, you hit Tech City, Europe’s largest startup cluster centered on Old Street. You’re also in walking distance of Covent Garden’s theaters, Oxford Street’s shopping, and Soho’s nightlife.
Our campus is a beautifully converted Georgian building with views over historic Gray’s Inn Gardens, where the city’s leading barristers have been based since 1370. Spread over six floors, the interior has been transformed into a modern study environment, while the exterior retains its traditional period features. An open-plan atrium, event space, bright classrooms, and 16 enclosed breakout rooms are just some of the fantastic facilities available to students. The roof deck and courtyard are perfect places to have a coffee and relax between classes.
During class time and through campus events, we aim to give our students every opportunity to meet people at the top of their professions. Procter & Gamble, PwC, Barclays, Burberry, Coca-Cola, Mars, and BSkyB were just some of the 120 companies that shared valuable business insights with our students last year. Our regular industry panel events allow for real engagement in current contentious business issues, as hot topics are debated live by leaders from the likes of AXA, HMV, Marks & Spencer, and West Ham Football.

The central location of the campus means you can relax in a park, go to the pub, or grab a coffee. Student Services organize all kind of social events, parties, dinners, and mixers. The Hult Football Club had a team of 22 people from all over the world who played with universities from across London—we became champions of the British University and College Sports League. All the incredible people I’ve met have had an enormous impact on my life and my career.”

Why choose Dubai The Middle East’s international trading center Dubai’s staggering growth—upwards, outwards, and economically—continues to surpass all expectations. It is an ideal meeting place for the world’s largest economies due to its well-established trading links with the Gulf, Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and India. Foreign investment has tripled since 2009 and Dubai’s successful bid to host the 2020 World Expo has boosted the city’s economy even further.
Dubai thinks big and acts fast. In just two decades it has transformed itself into a major international trading hub, capitalizing on its strategic position at the crossroads of the Eastern and Western worlds. The city has huge self-confidence and the motto that nothing is impossible is openly embraced —just look at its epic skyline. Its pivotal role in global industries such as energy, healthcare, and luxury goods make it an exhilarating place to do business.
A land of opportunities Dubai’s seemingly insatiable appetite for growth means it’s hungry for talent. Alumni from our Dubai campus enjoy the highest employment rates of all our Hult locations. Industries with a strong presence include banking and financial services, consulting, construction, and communications. Those wanting to accelerate their international career won’t find a better launchpad than Dubai, as 77% of our graduates go on to enjoy careers outside of the U.A.E.
“ Hult is like a mini U.N. filled with great talent from all over the world. The respect students and staff have for each other inside and outside of the classroom is exceptional. After three months at Hult Dubai, I was a changed person with the mentality that nothing is impossible. I have done things at Hult I never imagined I would do.”

At Hult New York you are uniquely positioned to explore this complex relationship with thought leaders from the worlds of finance, marketing, and politics, who offer valuable insights into the latest developments in these fields. Past events have included discussions with the Honorable Thomas Reeve Pickering, former U.S. Ambassador, visits to Bloomberg’s headquarters, and guided tours of the United Nations building.

Why choose Hult Ashridge Historic campus at the cutting edge of education Set in extensive parkland in the Hertfordshire countryside, the Ashridge Estate has at one stage in its colorful past been the private hunting lodge of King Henry VIII and the residence of his daughter, Queen Elizabeth I. For the last fifty years, Ashridge Business School has developed executives and managers in the fields of leadership, strategy, and change. Today Ashridge is ranked by Bloomberg Business and the Financial Times as one of the best schools in the world for Custom Executive Education, and has long been recognized for its world-class faculty. Ashridge also has a long tradition of cutting-edge research, publishing its own journal, engaging companies in their latest innovations, and hosting thought-leadership conferences.
We are extremely pleased to introduce Ashridge as the latest location available to Masters students on global rotation. This former royal residence is now home to Ashridge Business School, a global leader in executive education that has operationally merged with Hult. The campus is located just outside London on the grounds of a historic stately home. Students experience a world-class education in magnificent rural surroundings while having easy access to Europe’s economic capital.
Facilities fit for a king Trails for running, biking, horse riding, and walking surround Ashridge. There are two golf courses nearby and a health club and fitness center on site with tennis courts, a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, spa, and sauna. Students stay in one of the 190 en-suite bedrooms, and enjoy cuisine made by resident chefs who source food from local farms and high-quality suppliers. In the evenings, students can socialize in the recently renovated pub, where our very own Ashridge Ale is waiting to be sampled.

“ Hult is a very innovative business school. It inspires students to try things they are really passionate about. At Hult San Francisco, I was at the center of the startup community and was encouraged to embark upon something I once thought impossible. There was a highly active atmosphere on campus. I loved all the discussion and collaboration with teammates, as well as the research trips. We had students from more than 90 different countries on campus—each student was unique, and there was a lot to learn from all my classmates. Don’t be afraid to innovate, whether you succeed or not, the experience will teach you a lot about yourself.”
Student life at Hult We offer far more than an academic credential. Join a vibrant multicultural community, enjoy weekly events and outings, and explore your host city with friends from 120 countries.
