Hi there, I am one of MBA students at Tsinghua university. Although I received offers from other good schools in Asia such as HKUST, CUHK and NUS, I chose Tsinghua-MIT Global MBA as a place for my MBA study. I’d like to share my thoughts here. There are couple of reasons why I chose to take up MBA at Tsinghua.
1. It offers some cutting-edge Entrepreneurship classesBeijing is the center of China and Tsinghua university is the best university for engineering and science in China and the MBA provides many valuable entrepreneurship classes such as “Managerial Thinking”, “Entrepreneurial Strategy” taught by MIT professors and “Entrepreneurship and Innovation” provided by Facebook, which is the class that just started this year. If you wanna learn entrepreneurship or know about the start-ups in China, Tsinghua will be one of your good options.
2. Tsinghua university is the best university in China (hopefully will be the best one world-wide)Although there is a controversy about this topic, I can clearly say that Tsinghua is the best school at least from the perspective of engineering and science and business. I do not know about other departments. As for the business part, the school provides very decent classes and also great opportunities during the study. If you wanna work in China or Asian countries, the graduation from Tsinghua-MIT Global MBA might give you good alumni connections and some sort of presence in Asia.
From this point, I would like to share my surprising findings after I started MBA study. Hopefully, it will be helpful when you choose the place where you study.
1. You can find good buddies and get along well with most of classmatesHow could I imagine that I would have so many good friends here at Tsinghua. I love my classmates (Hopefully, they love me as well…). Before I went to China, I was worried that I could make many good friends, but it was just a worry. During the study, we helped each other so much, went out a lot and drunk a lot… You do not have to worry about connections. You just need to be a member of students. Basically, that’s it.
2. So many great lectures with many different topics (I think it is the best place when it comes to the lecture quality)I have to emphasize this point very much. Unfortunately, before I went to Tsinghua, I did not know the great facts that the school has so many great lectures from different societies such as great business leaders, great professors from the best schools and executives from vary well-known and famous organizations. (Starbucks, INTIDEX(ZARA), Facebook, Alibaba, Shiseido, Fujifilm, Harvard, Columbia, MIT, Stanford, World Bank, EU…too many!).
I hope it helps! See you in the campus!
