China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) was co-founded by the Chinese government and European Union (EU) in 1994, with Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the EFMD serving as its executive partners. CEIBS has campuses in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Accra in Ghana, and Zurich in Switzerland.

As China’s only business school to originate from government-level collaboration, CEIBS is committed to educating responsible leaders versed in ‘China Depth, Global Breadth’ in line with its motto of ‘Conscientiousness, Innovation and Excellence’. Leaders from the Chinese central government and the EU, respectively, have lauded CEIBS as “a cradle of excellent executives” and “a role model of EU-China co-operation”.

CEIBS offers MBA, Finance MBA, EMBA, Global EMBA, Hospitality EMBA, and Executive Education programmes (see Programmes Overview). CEIBS was the first business school on the Chinese mainland to be accredited by both EQUIS and AACSB. In 2019, it became the first school in Asia to have both its MBA and EMBA programmes ranked in the top five in the world by the Financial Times. In 2020, CEIBS was ranked #2 globally on the FT’s list of the top EMBA programmes and #5 in the world in its list of top MBA programmes. More
