The ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ Admission Test is an option that ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ provides to applicants in lieu of the GMAT. The ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ Admission Test is similar in style to the GMAT except that it does not have the AWA Section and IR Section.

After receiving your application, ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ MBA Admissions Office will inform you of the test details by email one week before the test. You can only take the ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ Admission Test ONCE per year and the test score is valid for 2 years. Click the link for more details about the ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ Admission Test.

Yes, we require an interview for all short-listed applicants. The interview panel will be comprised of ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ faculty, alumni and senior admissions officers. In most cases, applicants will be interviewed by two interviewers. Each interview is approximately 30-40 minutes long and will be conducted in English. Interviews will be offered at ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ campuses in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, or online (for overseas applicants).

ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ offers a wide range of scholarships and fellowships for both domestic and international students who possess outstanding leadership or demonstrate financial difficulty. For more information about our scholarships, please click here.

In addition to scholarships, ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ Talent Loans (interest free) are available to all students in the form of interest subsidy. Normal student loans are also provided by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China for mainland Chinese students and by Prodigy Finance for international students. For more information, please contact admissions@ceibs.edu.

In addition to planning for MBA tuition, students can refer to the table below to understand the approximate cost of living throughout the 12-16 month journey.

Dorm Fee (single room*): 3,000 RMB/month

Meals and miscellaneous: 5,000-8,000 RMB/month, including meals, health insurance, transportation and social fees.

International modules***:

Int¡¯l exchange: 30,000-60,000 RMB/3-4 months

Overseas module: 10,000-25,000 RMB/trip lasting 5-10 days

China modules***: 2000-5000 RMB/module (Note: For those who attend the module in Gobi desert, the cost will be around 20,000 RMB)

* Based on renting a single room dorm on campus for 16-19 months. Students can choose to live on or off campus in Shanghai. Typically, 80% of MBAs live on campus in single occupancy dorm rooms. Each room is equipped with a single bed, air-conditioning, bathroom and internet connection.?

** Tuition is waved at the overseas institution based on the reciprocal nature of the exchange. The expense varies based on location and duration but serves as a rough guide for travel and living expenses.

*** Expenses are mainly from flights, accommodation, insurance, transportation and meals.

During the 16-month MBA study at ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬, we offer free Mandarin courses at several levels in spring terms. For more information, please contact admissions@ceibs.edu

Yes, we have a Career Development Centre (CDC) dedicated to help ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬¡¯ students to effectively manage their career development post-MBA. The CDC office provides a broad range of services to help with students¡¯ career development from the beginning of the programme, such as career counselling, workshops, and mock interviews, internships and practicum, industry briefing, on-campus company presentations, etc. The CDC office is also responsible for arranging on-campus job fairs to connect students with companies. For More details, please click here or download our career report here.

Participants pay their tuition fee in three instalments ¨C an initial payment of 10% of the total fee, followed by two subsequent instalments of 50% and 40% respectively.?ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ has also entered into an agreement with the Shanghai branch of China Merchants Bank, which allows Chinese mainland Global EMBA participants to apply for bank loans.

If your original application is within the last two years, you do not need to submit another application package. The materials will simply be transferred to the current year's admission once you inform us that you wish to apply again. Though we may ask you to update us on any significant changes regarding your career/personal development that may have occurred between applications.

An organisation's sponsorship of a student is regarded as a demonstration of that student's ability to commit fully to the programme, with the active support of their employer. However, while we encourage this kind of sponsorship, it is not obligatory. Currently, around 40-50% of current GEMBA class participants have such a sponsorship arrangement.?

While sponsorship is not mandatory, we do require all candidates to obtain permission from their current employers to take two working days off each month to attend classes.

The Executive Assessment is specifically designed to evaluate the business school readiness of seasoned professionals. The assessment focuses on skills that are critical both at work and in an EMBA program: higher order reasoning, critical thinking, analysis, and problem-solving. Because it was designed specifically for experienced professionals, it requires modest preparation, takes only 90 minutes to complete, and includes flexible rescheduling options. The test is administered by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), creators of the GMAT? exam. You can learn more about the Executive Assessment by visiting gmac.com/ea.

Each year, the Global EMBA programme attracts a large, talented and diverse pool of applicants. With each successive round of admissions, the list of applicants grows and competition for places becomes more intense. Therefore, there is an advantage to applying early, as you will most likely find yourself competing against a smaller pool of candidates.

The overall assessment of candidates is made after the Admission Committee reviews their EA admission test or GMAT score, other application materials, and the results of their interview. While each of these elements influence the final decision, the interview part does carry additional weight, as it gives the committee a clearer understanding of the candidate¡¯s personality and unique qualities beyond what is written on paper. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that each candidate takes the time to consider their interview style and technique beforehand, so they can exhibit their personal strengths and capabilities to the fullest.

Equally, it is strongly recommended that the applicant clearly describes his/her career path and vision in the essay part of the application package so that the Admission Committee can have a clear picture of the applicant's career development, which can then be addressed in more detail during the interview.

The ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ Global EMBA programme is a master's degree programme. Every applicant must take the Executive Assessment exam by GMAC. The Executive Assessment is?specifically designed to evaluate the business school readiness of seasoned professionals. It?focuses on the skills that are critical both at work and in an EMBA programme: higher order reasoning, critical thinking, analysis, and problem-solving. Fortunately, it only requires modest preparation, and candidates can take the assessment year-round at over 600 conveniently located test centres around the world.

However, there is an exception to this rule. We will allow candidates who already have a GMAT score to submit this as part of their application, instead of taking the Executive Assessment exam. Please note that this GMAT score must have been obtained within the past five years prior to the candidate¡¯s application. Furthermore, candidates should be aware that if they do not take the EA exam, and instead submit their existing GMAT score, they will incur a 2,000 RMB application fee.

The Executive Assessment was specifically designed to evaluate the skills you have already acquired during your career. It focuses on the skills that are critical both at work and in an EMBA programme: higher order reasoning, critical thinking, analysis, and problem-solving. It is made up of just three 30-minute sections with a total of 40 questions. Extensive preparation is not necessary, but we do strongly suggest that you review the question formats and practice using the?sample questions listed.

The ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ Admission Committee requires two letters of professional recommendation. It is preferred that one of these comes from the applicant's current supervisor. We also prefer recommendations from people who can speak directly about your aptitude for, or accomplishments in, management. Accordingly, work-related recommendations are more valuable than academic ones.

Each year, we admit a small number of candidates who hold only an associate degree but have outstanding experience in high-calibre managerial positions. Please submit a r¨¦sum¨¦ to the Global EMBA office highlighting your career achievements. The Admission Committee will consider these achievements when assessing your application.

The Global EMBA programme starts in November every year.
You can?review our latest Admission Deadlines here.

The ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ admissions office will arrange an interview for you within about two weeks of your application being received. You can arrange to take the Executive Assessment () at your own convenience. Once these steps are complete, you will be notified of the admission result within roughly two weeks. As admission to the programme is highly competitive, applications that are submitted during the later admissions rounds tend to be assessed against a much larger and more competitive pool of candidates. Therefore, we encourage you to apply as early as possible, to secure your best chance of being successfully admitted to the programme.

Candidates should have a bachelor's degree or above, and at least ten years' working experience, including a minimum of seven years at a managerial level. After submitting your application with the required documents, we will arrange your interview, to be conducted either in person on ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬'s main campus in Shanghai, or through Skype/Zoom. Candidates will also need to register and??by themselves, and have the score report sent to us. After the completion of these steps, you will be notified of the admission result within two weeks.

Our programme does not require participants to write a thesis; instead, they are tasked with completing a group research project ¨C known as the Capstone Project ¨C which will tackle a real-world business challenge or scenario. It is important to note that the Capstone Project represents a similar degree of difficulty as a thesis.

All ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ Global EMBA participants are conferred with a Master's degree in Business Administration upon graduation, which is recognised by the Academic Degree Committee of the State Council, People's Republic of China.

ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ was the first institution to offer a Global EMBA programme on the Chinese mainland. In 1995, ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ started to offer its Global EMBA programme in Shanghai.

There are many outstanding business schools and Global EMBA programmes in China. Each programme has its own unique characteristics. ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ is characterised as offering an exceptionally high quality of learning opportunities delivered by its world-class teaching staff. The quality of teaching is considered to be the lifeblood of our school. Over the past decade, ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ has maintained its high-standard entrance examinations and strict management practices overseeing the educational content across all its programmes. ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ professors are not only highly knowledgeable in their respective fields, they are also experts at teaching. Many of our faculty members have won prestigious teaching awards.

The Global EMBA maintains a strong commitment to diversity among its students,?with executives from different nationalities, industries, functional backgrounds and company types, allowing each student to step outside their everyday work environment and see business challenges from a whole new perspective.

Personal and professional self-development is also one of the core pillars of the Global EMBA programme. Participants will be continually challenged and inspired through immersive, experiential leadership exercises, that will help them understand their own leadership style and blind spots.

The mission of ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ is to maintain and improve its standing as a China-focused, world-class business school. ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ differs from other domestic business schools in its global perspective; it differs from other world-class international business schools in its strategic focus on China. This combination of strengths allows ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ to cultivate the next generation of business leaders who are equally capable and comfortable in China and global-facing roles.

The Global EMBA programme is based on the full-time MBA programme, but tailored in its curriculum, course coverage, teaching methodology and schedule to meet the specific needs of senior executives. The programme allows senior business managers to pursue an MBA degree on a part-time basis.

Another major difference between the two programmes lies in their respective participants. At ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬, Global EMBA participants have average work experience of 15 years, while MBA students generally have 5-6 years of work experience. Therefore, even for the same course, the content taught in the Global EMBA classroom will be much higher than that for MBA students. Secondly, the intensive schedule for Global EMBA participants requires stronger learning and time management abilities. Lastly, as many Global EMBA participants have earned outstanding achievements in their careers, and may even have formulated a set of their own managerial methods, it may be necessary for them to 'unlearn' certain habits. Consequently, this requires a strong mentality and maturity from participants.

To prepare highly competent, innovation oriented managers and executives who are capable of leading and growing their organizations in the increasingly dynamic African economic environment and who are capable of negotiating the forces of globalization and international competition and cooperation for the benefit of their organizations.

ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ Executive Education programmes often last for 3 to 5 days on end in the forms of lecture, case discussion, group presentation, business simulation, and others.
The participants will face great challenges for their energy and attention during the whole process. The insufficiency in making proper psychological preparation may cause difficulties in understanding the essence of the professors' lectures and getting actively involved in class discussions.
We suggest that the participants advise their colleagues in advance that phone calls and e-mails may not be replied during the programme.

To companies selecting participants or to individual managers being selected, to participate in ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ programmes is a significant investment. Anyone busy handling some emergencies may only achieve part of the expected outcomes from the training.

Most professors prepare for the participants pre-reading materials which include cases and extensive reading materials. ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ programme coordinators will mail the materials to the participants several weeks in advance. The participants are required to read the materials carefully beforehand; otherwise, group discussions and class discussions can hardly proceed given the limited time the professors leave for reading cases in class. With a view to the fact that case teaching is an integral part of the programme, we have prepared for you the Guide for Learning at ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ with focuses and tips for case study to maximize your learning achievements.

Read carefully in advance and take with you the pre-reading materials (if any).

Read carefully the Logistics Guide and Reply Sheet sent to you by the programme coordinator about two weeks prior to the programme's start date.?

In addition, applicants must have at least two years of managerial experience, i.e., leading a company or a team for a certain project.

We not only welcome talents in the financial field, but also welcome talents from real enterprises.

No. There is frequently an explosion of knowledge in the financial industry. Thus, we need to reconstruct each student¡¯s knowledge of the financial system, regardless of his/her major at the undergraduate level.

An organisational chart can help the Admission Committee better understand your position in an organisation. We have no special format requirements. Thus, you can either use the existing organisational chart of your company or draw a new one on your own, but don¡¯t forget to mark your position on the chart.

Generally, the interview notification is sent within one week after you pass the test.

Each interview takes approximately 40 minutes. The applicant will be interviewed by two senior interviewers. The face-to-face talk involves the applicant¡¯s work experience, views on management, and personal competencies.

ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ FMBA Programme offers highly-intensive and high-quality modules. Four days of intensive learning per month is within the upper limit for a part-time programme. To ensure ¡°Financial Depth¡±, lecturers won¡¯t spend much time imparting basic financial knowledge. Instead, students are required to complete a great deal of pre-course reading, prepare for case studies, and even spend evenings holding group discussions.

The ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ FMBA Programme has first-rate faculty in all management disciplines, particularly in finance. ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬¡¯ professors of finance, accounting and economics have personally designed compulsory courses and launched specific finance-related elective courses for the programme.

ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ has also established strong connections with the finance sectors; various business leaders will be invited to ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ events as guest speakers and share their experiences with students.

Customisation is the most important quality that sets the ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ FMBA Programme apart from the rest. It can be seen not only in terms of curriculum design, but also in regard to applicant selection. The programme targets senior and middle-level managers in financial institutions and those in other industries whose work involves financial management. The most relevant financial courses will be offered on the basis of the industries that the students are involved in, while the general management course will be tailored to incorporate content and cases in relation to the financial industry.?

The admission process emphasises applicant background in order to identify the top echelon that best represents the elite of financial institutions and in financial divisions of other industries. The interaction between the most talented students and experienced instructors will ensure an unparalleled learning experience with long-lasting benefits.

It is difficult to predict how likely you are to be admitted to our PhD programme. Many factors impact admission decisions, such as the qualifications of other applicants, the number of new students that can be accommodated, and the number of professors that share your research and scholarly interests. All components of the application package, including the application, letters of recommendation, personal statement, academic record (i.e., transcripts), and other items required by the programme are considered.

Sorry, we will only accept TOEFL.

Applicants who fall into any of the following three categories will be eligible for a waiver of TOEFL:

The minimum GMAT score for admission is 720.

There is no specific requirement imposed by our programme.

During the MRM phase in Barcelona, Spain, ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ will arrange scholarship funding for students admitted under the Coordinated Programme, including tuition fees (to be paid to IESE) and living expenses.?

During the PhD phase, students are expected to return to China to work full-time on their dissertations at ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ under the guidance of their advisers. They will be financially supported by ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ for a maximum of three years ¨C subject to annual reviews of their performance ¨C to help them pay for living expenses in China.

We at ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ started our joint PhD programme in late 2011, under our umbrella project for the EU Delegation. The pilot programme will focus on China-relevant research in business development, entrepreneurship, and business finance. Thus, we are targeting PhD candidates who plan to pursue future career goals in management research in China.
You will be eligible for application if you are:
? Under 35 years old
? A university degree holder
? Proficient in both oral and written English
? Committed to five years of full-time study and a future academic career in China

ÖйúÒ»¼¶Æ¬ will offer pre-enrolment scholarship for outstanding FMBA applicants who apply and are enrolled. The scholarship should be applied for in advance.
