Juggling Ambitions: A Mother’s Story

“As any working mother in Hong Kong knows, the juggle is real,” says Delphine Le Court (DiMBA, Intake 2021). “Between client meetings, family dinners and school runs, finding time for professional development seems like an impossible dream. That was my initial thought too, until I discovered HKUST’s Digital MBA programme.”

After a global career spanning Beijing, New York and Hong Kong, with 14 years in M&A at a major French bank under her belt, Delphine aspired to pursue an MBA. However, the rigid structures of traditional programmes clashed with the ever-changing demands of full-time work and parenting. Enter the HKUST Asia-Pacific Part-Time MBA: a programme designed for the dynamic realities of modern, professional life. 

“To my fellow working mums considering an MBA, it’s possible to advance your career while being present for your family. With the right programme and support system, you don’t have to choose between professional growth and family time. This journey has shown me that we really can write our own rules for success,” says Delphine.
