Established under an agreement between the Chinese government and the European Commission in Shanghai in November 1994, CEIBS was the first business school in mainland China to offer a full-time MBA in China, an Executive MBA and a wide range of Executive Education programmes (e.g. full time MBA programme in English, part-time Global EMBA (GEMBA) programme in English). CEIBS follows the European model of business schools.[5] CEIBS was the first business school on the Chinese mainland to be accredited by both EQUIS and AACSB. The CEIBS Global EMBA (GEMBA) programme is ranked #1 worldwide by the Financial Times. The CEIBS MBA programme has ranked in the top 25 of the Financial Times' annual ranking for 20 consecutive years (2005-2024), including eight years as #1 in Asia.[6] CEIBS offers MBA, Finance MBA, EMBA, Global EMBA, Hospitality EMBA, DBA (Switzerland), and Executive Education programmes (see Programmes Overview).

History

[edit]

The school's predecessor, the China-EC Management Institute (CEMI), was launched in Beijing in 1984. After CEIBS was formally established in 1994 in collaboration with its partners European Foundation for Management Development and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, it later moved to Minhang in Shanghai.[when?][citation needed] In 1994, CEIBS opened its main campus in Shanghai's Pudong district.[citation needed]

In May 2009, CEIBS started an EMBA programme in Ghana, being the first Asian business school to start such a programme in Africa.[7] CEIBS was also the first Asian business school, and one of the very few around the globe, to become carbon neutral in 2011.[8] In 2009, CEIBS became the first Chinese business school to make the world's Top 10 MBA ranking compiled by the FT.[9]

In November 2015, CEIBS announced that it had acquired the Lorange Institute of Business of Zurich for 16.5 million Swiss francs, with plans to train over 200 Chinese managers per month.[10]


Campus

[edit]

The main campus of CEIBS in Shanghai's Pudong district established in 1994 was designed by Henry N. Cobb and Ian Bader of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners and made CEIBS the first business school in mainland China with its own campus.[citation needed] In 2011, CEIBS began the 18-month construction of Phase 3 of the Shanghai campus which doubled its size to 7.5 million square meters.[citation needed]

CEIBS opened its Beijing campus on April 24, 2010, within Beijing's Zhonguangcun Software Park alongside the research centres of IBM, Oracle, Neusoft and more than 200 other leading technology companies. It effectively doubled the school's total number of classroom seats.[citation needed] Designed by the Spanish architectural firm IDOM, the Beijing campus hosts CEIBS EMBA programme and executive education courses. Each year, the CEIBS Beijing campus graduates almost 300 EMBA students and nearly 3,000 executive education participants. The campus is also a central meeting point for CEIBS alumni as Beijing is home to CEIBS’ second-largest alumni chapter (after Shanghai).[citation needed]

The CEIBS Zurich Campus is in Horgen, on the shore of Lake Zurich, 18km from the city centre. Campus buildings are connected by a futuristic-looking glass facade. Hosting participants from the MBA, EMBA, GEMBA and HEMBA programmes, as well as customised Executive Education programmes, the Zurich Campus serves as a satellite of CEIBS' main campus in China and as a bridge between Europe and China for the school. In 2019, a major expansion project doubled the size and capacity of the campus.[11]


Academics

[edit]

80% of the non-Chinese students who graduate from China Europe International Business School establish residence and work in the Asia-Pacific region.[12]

Accreditation

In March 2004, CEIBS received European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) accreditation, making it the first school in mainland China to receive this international accreditation. EQUIS is a renowned international system of quality assessment, improvement, and accreditation of higher education institutions in management and business administration. In 2007, 2012, 2017, and most recently in 2022, EQUIS awarded CElBS with a five-year renewal of its accreditation in recognition of the school's high standards.

In December 2008, CEIBS also received accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degrees in business and accounting. CEIBS now holds the distinction of having received accreditation from both the US and European standard accrediting bodies. In 2013, 2019, and again in 2024, CEIBS was re-certified as an accredited business school by the AACSB.

In addition, in 2002, the Academic Degree Committee of the State Council of China formally recognised CEIBS’ MBA degree.
