Hong Kong University of Science and Technology appoints Professor Frederik Anseel as Dean, School of Business and Management

Prof. Anseel joins HKUST from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia, where he served as Dean of UNSW Business School. Under his leadership, the School achieved the top ranking in Australia for three consecutive years, and its Online MBA program was consistently placed within the global top ten in the Financial Times rankings. He brings extensive international leadership experience from several world-renowned business schools, having previously held roles as Vice Dean at King’s College London in the UK, Head of Department of Human Resource Management, Work and Organizational Psychology and Talent Management Advisor to the Rector at Ghent University in Belgium, and Visiting Professor at École Supérieure des Sciences Economiques et Commerciales Business School in France and Bocconi University in Italy.

I look forward to building on its strong foundations to further advance its intellectual leadership, foster meaningful partnerships, and prepare our graduates for impactful careers in an AI-driven world.

Professor Frederik Anseel
