The curriculum is designed on the basis of modules to facilitate simultaneous learning. Students are required to spend extensive time at school in order to become familiar with learning tools and each other.
Classes held on different campuses are independent from each other, but a portion of all courses are held at the Beijing Campus for networking purposes.
A broad range of electives are offered to complement the core curriculum.
Collaborative Teaching and Learning Environment
The main working language is Chinese, with simultaneous translation and printed bilingual materials provided for those taught by non-Chinese speaking faculty members.

At the conclusion of each class, the students will be asked to evaluate the faculty member’s performance to ensure the quality of teaching.
While the majority of the courses offered at the Beijing campus will be local, 2 to 3 weeks are set aside for field trips which include studying the local economy, visiting well-known local companies, and engaging in discussions with local business and government leaders. The purpose of these field trips is to provide solutions for the problems faced by the local economy and its businesses.
In addition to the course offerings, numerous industry-specific organizations and geography-specific alumni associations provide additional opportunities for exchanges and networking.
A Program with Global Vision
The 15-day International Residency Program (optional and non-credit granting) offered in collaboration with other top business schools includes classroom learning and visits to some of the world’s best known companies.
“Learning with the Masters”, and “The Cheung Kong EMBA Forum” provide additional platforms for students to develop their individual learning potential, leadership skills, entrepreneurial spirit and humanistic values.
