Thanks Antmavel for the summary of Chinese schools.

NYU provides this description of CEIBS

CEIBS [#permalink]
Hi all,

I had applied to CEIBS for MBA program. I have a strong engineering background and have 3 years of experience in IT Industry. I intend to do majors in Finance. Recently I got a notification from CEIBS saying that I have been short-listed for CEIBS MBA programme. (I have got admit from AIM Manila, CUHK and HKU too!)

I am looking for 3 things through CEIBS MBA program:
(1) Diverse alumni network
(2) Quality education, international experience & expertise in Finance
- Would be learning about 2 market economies (China & EU) at one go.
(3) Placement in Shanghai/HK, which will expose me to international
financial markets

In that context, I wanted more info regarding job placements. Do
companies in china/HK/Singapore prefer mainland chinese students to
international students? Is is true that international students have
tough time finding jobs/summer internship in China/HK? Please help.

Thanks!
Regards,
Mooz

Information on CEIBS seems a bit sparse but the school provides the following information:

The percentage of international students is quite low even by US standards (c. 19%). However, like the US, China is a large country with high levels of internal cultural diversity so it is unclear if the percentage of intl. students is particularly meaningful.

CEIBS asserts that 99% of students find employment within 3 months of graduation.

It says that it is one of the first business schools in the region with a dedicated career development office

CEIBS is one of the few schools in the region to qualify under the UK's Highly Skilled Migrant Programme MBA Provision

All these Chinese MBA schools - CEIBS, Beijing, Tsinghua, Fudan, and many more - provide IMBA programs (MBA in English) now.

Yes, there are many programs in China offered in English. Most, however, have little global name recognition and are not accredited by the major intl. organizations. This does not mean that they are inferior programs but is worth keeping in mind.

My relatives just alerted me to this school, apparenlty CEIBS is pretty hot right now in China. I just went to their website, looks quite interesting.

Am thinking of applying it this year.

Gamjatang, I could be your classmate! :wink:

But again, as Hjort said, I'm a little skeptical about the recognition the school has from int'l organizations. I think if you are willing to relocate and move to Asia to work, this might work for you. However, if you are planning to stay in N. America, maybe a US school is a better choice.

I dont know...I don't think it's worth it and except the 99%, I dont see any strong advantage. I think this program is suitable for chinese citizens or people with chinese origins that wish to come back to china and work for multinationals. If you belong to that pool, it is a very good track, if not i have a lot of doubts about it. Moreover as a business leader, you can't be 100% sure that your life will be in China forever which means that generally speaking you should be careful when choosing a very specific and specialized MBA that could not be very helpful if your career had made a u-turn

That would be me :) But I'm still skeptical just because I have yet to figure out what I really want to do.

I think ultimately it all boils down to: Where do you want to be? in 10, 15, 20 years? Geographically. If the answer is Asia, then CEIBS would obviously be a good choice.

so i wish you good luck
did you have a look on other mba's in china ?

if you can speak chinese, did you check Tsinghua or Fudan ? I am pretty sure they offer a great degree too, however the employers may only be chinese companies so it depends on which structure and kind of companies you would like to work

I hesitated but I finally chose to only apply in the US. It was a personal choice and also because I am neither chinese nor foreigner with chinese origins, so the CEIBS MBA would not have been suitable in terms of future placement.

I practically grew up here in the US so I'm not sure what it would be like to work/live in China/Asia. Scary :? My ultimate goal is still to stay in So Cal but we'll see...

But from the CEIBS's website, seems like alot of Fortune 500's China counterparts are recruiting...Nestle, Apple, IBM etc....

Yep. Hope we could be classmates :-)

I was born in Asia, raised in Asia, and works in Asia.
That's why I chose Chinese B-schools.
I guess things might be different to you.

Anyways, CEIBS ranked FT #21 this year.

- 2 concentrations : general management or finance
- Chinese business focus
- small classes : 50 students

The requirements for Bimba are the same as in the top US B-schools. It is very competitive for chinese students, I do not know for international applicants. You have to go through an interview. The most important is to explain why you want to get a MBA in China and why Bimba which offers a china-focus program.

My stats :
- european student
- Master degree in international business
- no GPA but my grades are equivalent to B
- 3 years of work experience in international sales in small companies
- GMAT : have not taken yet

Hjort : I did not consider CEIBS for personal reasons : I wanted to relocate myself only in Beijing. I have heard really good things about CEIBS.
