China Depth, Global Breath
In slightly more than a decade, CEIBS has grown from a new creation to a world-class business school, with outstanding international and local recognition for its programmes. The full-time MBA lasts 18 months, including a practicum project and an international exchange programme. All MBA courses are taught exclusively in English. All students are expected to be comfortable with both written and oral communication in English. As of May 2009, the School has graduated over 8,000 MBA and EMBA graduates and provided management training for over 80,000 executives.
Diversified Students Body
CEIBS boasts of its top quality students in Asian Pacific Region. It also has the most diversified student body (44.9% overseas students in 2011 intake) among mainland China's business schools, which created a unique multi-cultural learning environment.
Cross-Functional Curriculum integration
The most challenging business problems cut across functional lines of responsibility. To solve them, managers must be competent in cross-disciplinary analysis, solution generation and communication. The new CEIBS curriculum includes several applied integration modules that require students to innovatively and systematically solve practical business problems using knowledge and skills they’ve acquired in earlier business courses. The modules are spread throughout the MBA curriculum to reinforce and build upon each stage of learning.
China Focus
One of CEIBS’ most significant features is its clear China focus, encapsulated in our positioning statement: "China Depth, Global Breadth.' CEIBS teaches the most advanced international business theories while attaching great importance to the practical application of these skills in China.
Flexibility and Choice
CEIBS' current MBA curriculum gives you the flexibility to personally tailor the second year of your studies. In the autumn of Year Two, you can choose to go on international exchange or stay in Shanghai to study with CEIBS professors. You also have the option to complete the degree in 18 months or lengthen it to 20 months in order to pack in more study options.
Although teaching methods vary by subject, lectures and case studies come alive thanks to our professors' extensive experience in the business world. Many cases are selected from top schools such as Harvard Business School; others are taken from CEIBS’ own pool of China-specific cases written by faculty and staff of the Case Development Centre. In addition to mainstream textbooks, teaching materials are drawn from a variety of current sources such as academic journals, magazines, and videos. Some courses are delivered in interactive formats including simulations, guest speeches, and seminars.
Language Courses
In the first academic year, CEIBS MBA students can choose from among a list of non-credit language courses (Chinese, French, Spanish) offered free of charge. International students are required to learn Chinese and are encouraged to take the Chinese Proficiency Test (also known as HSK) to facilitate their MBA study and future career in China. It is impractical to start a professional career in China without adequate Chinese language skills.
Top-tier global rankings
CEIBS is the only Asian business school to have achieved global ranking for its MBA, EMBA and Executive Education programmes. Despite its young age of just 17 years, the CEIBS MBA Programme has ranked within the Top 25 by the Financial Times' annual global business school survey for 8 consecutive years (2005-2012)).
