Global Executive MBA

The CEIBS Global Executive MBA has the following requirements:

• Undergraduate university degree or above.
• A minimum of 10 years work experience with at least 7 years in managerial positions.
• Strong command of both written and spoken English.
• A highly committed organisation that allows you two working days off each month to attend classes; financial sponsorship however not obligatory.

The students in the CEIBS EMBA programme are typically experienced Executives, Managers and Entrepreneurs; highly gifted and eager to share their knowledge and perspectives with others.

CEIBS EMBA curriculum combines a rigorous pace inclusive of both its "hard" (analytical) and "soft" (leadership) dimensions. Students are required to conduct a group research project that solves a real business problem. Leadership development is not an elective, but a fundamental dimension integrated into the entire curriculum.

Except for the global modules, most courses are conducted at the Shanghai campus. The class meets 4 days every month (from Thursday morning to Sunday afternoon) for 18 months.

Concentration on Solutions

Compared with most business schools in China, the CEIBS EMBA programme focuses not only on management theories but also on practical solutions. In the CEIBS EMBA programme, traditional dissertations are not required; rather, a group project with a purpose of solving a real business problem is required. The group project, will be under the direction of faculties of different fields, and participants need to do an oral defense to get their degree.

Students receive the MBA degree from CEIBS on completion, which is accredited by the AACSB and the EQUIS.

The tuition fee of 2011 EMBA programme is RMB 458,000. For the Global EMBA Programme, an additional fee of RMB 20,000 is charged to cover the incremental costs incurred by two Global Modules.

* International students can pay the tuition fee in USD, based on the exchange buying rate on the day of the payment.

The CEIBS EMBA programme design is based on the full-time MBA program format, but tailored in its curriculum and schedule to meet the needs of senior executives in China. The programme allows working professionals to pursue an MBA without interrupting their careers. The programme is designed to allow students to share work experience and contribute to the classroom experience, thus learning from each other.

Currently, about 60 to 70 per cent of the CEIBS EMBA students are sponsored or partly sponsored by their employers.

CEIBS is the leading Chinese international business school. All three of CEIBS programs are ranked in the Global Top 30  by the Financial Times. The school’s main objective is to contribute to the economic development of China by offering its students a thorough understanding of the latest international management knowledge and practices coupled with clear China expertise.

CEIBS’ mission is to prepare highly competent, internationally oriented managers who are capable of working within the economic environment of China, while adapting to the forces of business globalization, international cooperation and international competition.

Established in Shanghai in 1994, CEIBS is based on its own campus in the Pudong district of Shanghai. CEIBS is a not-for-profit joint venture established under an agreement between MOFTEC and the European Commission. Additionally, CEIBS operates programs in Beijing, Shenzhen, and certificate programmes in developing regions of China.

CEIBS is China's first business school to have its own campus. Designed by world-renowned architects, Pei Cobb Freed and Partners, the school's architectural beauty combines Western architecture with the subtlety of Chinese beauty and grace, creating a unique identity for the 5 hectare site in Pudong. The school's facilities are connected with an arcade walkway that encloses the main garden, often referred to as the bamboo forest.

The school's facilities are impressive, comfortable, and technologically advanced and are second to none in mainland China. Earlier this year, the school celebrated an increase in size of the campus to a total floor area of approximately 40,000m2 as part of the completion of its Phase II development of the main campus.
