CIEBS EMBA Curriculum Structure
CEIBS EMBA curriculum combines a rigorous pace inclusive of both its "hard" (analytical) and "soft" (leadership) dimensions. Students are required to conduct a group research project that solves a real business problem. Leadership development is not an elective, but a fundamental dimension integrated into the entire curriculum.
Except for the global modules, most courses are conducted at the Shanghai campus. The class meets 4 days every month (from Thursday morning to Sunday afternoon) for 18 months.
Concentration on Solutions
Compared with most business schools in China, the CEIBS EMBA programme focuses not only on management theories but also on practical solutions. In the CEIBS EMBA programme, traditional dissertations are not required; rather, a group project with a purpose of solving a real business problem is required. The group project, will be under the direction of faculties of different fields, and participants need to do an oral defense to get their degree.
Degree and diploma etc.
Students receive the MBA degree from CEIBS on completion, which is accredited by the AACSB and the EQUIS.
