Programme Structure

In a global and unpredictable environment, business leaders must be equipped with extremely broad skills. They need both global and local perspectives, the ability to deal with constant changes and to manage complexity and lead innovation. Today’s managers also need to be able to communicate effectively in multiple languages. By encouraging independent thought, team collaboration and open communication, CEIBS provides students with the tools for success in many career paths.

It is designed to lay a solid foundation of management fundamentals, while providing flexibility to tailor to individual interests and career ambitions by offering two concentrations in Finance and Marketing respectively. Moreover, students are given the option to take part in the school’s impressive international exchange programme with the world’s top-tier business schools.

Teaching Methods

Although teaching methods vary by subject, most of the lectures and case studies come alive thanks to our professors’ extensive real-life experience in the business world. Most of cases are introduced from top schools like Harvard Business School, but CEIBS is accumulating a pool of China-specific cases written by its faculty and Case Development Centre. In addition to mainstream textbooks, teaching materials are also drawn from a variety of current sources such as academic journals, magazines, and videos.
