Hello guys! So today I would like to discuss about an MBA program in China.
So I am an MBA graduate myself, so I would like to give more insights from my experience for
future students looking forward to studying MBA in China, and what are the top MBA programs that you
can apply for. So studying for an MBA degree in China can be an incredible investment, of course.
China's world-class universities actually offer you the opportunity to stand out from the crowd
with your international experiences in the fast growing economy in the world. So the financial
rewards of earning an MBA degree is also really strong, especially if you have graduated an MBA
program in China. So MBA graduates from the top Chinese business schools typically obtain
salaries at least 50 percent higher than what they were earning before. So China also has enormous
opportunities for MBA graduates, I can assure you that. So let's talk about what are the top MBA
programs in China that you can apply. So the first business school we are going to talk today is
China Europe International Business School. In short, it's CEIBS. So an MBA program at CEIBS,
which is located in Shanghai, takes up to 18 months to complete. It is a full-time MBA program,
it is fully taught in English. So the MBA program focuses to develop your leadership skills,
professionalism, sense of social responsibility, cross-cultural competence and entrepreneurial
spirits. And the tuition fee for the whole program is 438,000 RMB, which makes it about
66,000 USD. And the CEIBS MBA program has actually ranked in the top 25 of Financial Times’
annual global business school, ranking for 15 consecutive years, from 2005 till 2019.
So, what should you do to be enrolled to the MBA program at CEIBS? So you should have
following requirements, you should at least hold bachelor's degree, full-time work experience of
at least two years, GMAT or GRE score. However if you don't have GMAT or GRE score,
you can also take CEIBS’ admission test. And also you should have proficiency in English,
if you are not a native speaker, such as TOEFL or IELTS. And also I think it's important to
mention that CEIBS also has a pre-MBA summer bootcamp where you will have unique opportunities
to come to Shanghai for one week to live and experience China and CEIBS MBA to the fullest.
So guys, there are numerous scholarships and financial aid options available at CEIBS. So
CEIBS MBA program offers a rich and diversified scheme of financial aid to qualified candidates,
both domestic and international. So financial aid includes merit-based scholarships, diversity-based
fellowships, needs-based educational fund and financial loans. So more than 30 percent of MBA
students who were admitted in 2020 received scholarships or fellowships covering from
20 percent to 100 percent of their tuition fees. I have actually talked to Oliver, who is a graduate
from China Europe International Business School, right? CEIBS. And he said that his MBA experience
has helped him to understand China, learn Chinese and build a financial career in Asia. And he has
shared with me actually, some advices for aspiring MBA students. So he said, do your research,
learn Chinese and prepare to get most out of your experience in China. The country has a
large market and the learning language is really important. And planning ahead maximises your time
in China. And he also said take advantage of your expat network in China. Expats actually have vast
experience and are willing to provide you with free advices and guidance for you. And he also
said, connect with the alumni network at CEIBS. There are many international CEIBS MBA alumni
who have amazing careers and who can give you real world business advices. So second business
