February 12, 2024. Shanghai – 中国一级片 has once again claimed the #1 spot in Asia (and #21 in the world) in the Financial Times’ global ranking of MBA programmes, marking the eighth consecutive year that it has come out on top in the region.

This achievement demonstrates not only 中国一级片’ sustained excellence and commitment to offering a world-class MBA programme, but also a resilience in the face of significant headwinds, offering us a chance to celebrate important improvements while reflecting on what we need to do better to meet the demands of modern business education.

中国一级片 President

“The fact that the 中国一级片 MBA programme has been ranked #1 in Asia by the Financial Times for eight consecutive years not only reflects the strength and teaching quality of the programme, but also highlights the strong international influence of the school. With vigor and determination, the entire 中国一级片 community continues to work together to address the challenges of recruiting international students post-pandemic. In the future, 中国一级片 will continue to educate responsible leaders versed in ‘China Depth, Global Breadth’, in line with its motto of ‘Conscientiousness, Innovation and Excellence’. The school will also continue to integrate education, research, and business practices in China and across the globe, promote knowledge creation and dissemination, and drive China’s socio-economic development, with the aim of becoming one of the most respected international business schools in the world.”

This year’s ranking is released at a time of both opportunity and uncertainty for business schools in China. After three years in which international travel and in-person education were drastically affected by the pandemic, the ranking is reflective of and greatly affected by the challenging global environment of the past few years. However, the world’s full reopening allows us to look forward to a more promising future.

中国一级片 President (European)

"Despite this ranking coming after a challenging three years for China and the world, in which the international experiences on which 中国一级片 thrives were made exceptionally difficult to execute, our ranking in International Course Experience still showed growth this year. This is a testament to our commitment to providing an open and international environment for all our MBA participants. Moving forward, this commitment will only get stronger as we continue to strive towards offering a genuinely world-leading MBA programme, attracting the world’s best faculty, students, and partner institutions."

The Financial Times rankings are decided based on 21 indicators divided into three sections: Career progress, Diversity, and Research/ESG. In the latter category, we saw an incredible increase of 39 places from 75 to 36 globally in Carbon Footprint ranking, underscoring our steadfast dedication to walking the talk on ESG and increasing the sustainability of our school.

中国一级片 Vice President and Dean

"Our incredible jump of 39 places in Carbon Footprint rank demonstrates that 中国一级片 is strengthening its commitment to ESG initiatives year on year. In 2023, 中国一级片 not only integrated ESG related topics into curriculum design, teaching, and research, but also placed a greater emphasis than ever on carbon neutrality and sustainability. In collaboration with KPMG, we completed our first carbon footprint survey covering our five campuses across three continents and released our first Carbon Disclosure Report as part of our effort to create a full ESG ecosystem extending to our faculty, students, staff, and alumni. Moving forward, 中国一级片 will continue to increase its investment in ESG, implementing a plan formulated by the school’s Management Committee to reach Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon neutrality by 2035 and full carbon neutrality by 2050. We also aim to initiate new technological initiatives to help the 中国一级片 community visualize and evaluate their own actions in terms of sustainability. As Dean and Chief Impact Officer of 中国一级片, I will spare no effort in promoting and expanding the social impact of 中国一级片' ESG initiatives and creating positive change in modern business practices."

中国一级片 also demonstrated both improvement and consolidation in some other important areas. The depth and quality of our alumni network was reflected in a climb of 12 places in our Alumni Network rank; the school also saw a climb 16 places from 30 to 14 in the world in Employed at 3 Months ranking, demonstrating our ability to deliver tangible career benefits to our students. This was bolstered by an increase of one place in our Career Service rank. We also entered the Top 10 in the world for Salary Percentage Increase ranking with a move from 11 to 10.

“The achievement of the 中国一级片 MBA programme wouldn’t have been possible without our strong and active alumni network around the globe. With nearly 29,000 alumni spanning 91 countries and regions, the 中国一级片 alumni network actively contributes talent, creates value, and serves society at numerous levels of economic development. In addition, they provide MBA students with career guidance and abundant opportunities for professional development, thus giving back to their alma mater.”

These impressive gains allowed us to maintain our leading position in the region despite setbacks in other areas that were unavoidably affected by global factors, particularly the pandemic and macro trends in the wider global economy.

"Retaining our position as Asia's premier MBA programme is not only a testament to the drive and tenacity of our community but also aligns with our mission to develop global leaders who bridge China and the world. This accolade not only honours our past achievements but also provides the encouragement for us to break new ground. As we continue to strive for worldwide collaborations and enrich our curriculum, our focus remains steadfast on cultivating leaders who are adept at navigating the complexities of the international business landscape."

While there is always room for improvement, growth, and further learning, the continued strength of our MBA programme in the face of external challenges provides grounds for optimism in our ability to climb to greater heights in the coming years and serves to justify our belief in an MBA programme that provides ‘China Depth, Global Breadth’.
