SHANGHAI, Nov. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The China Europe
International Business School's (CEIBS) Global EMBA programme has
now placed fifth in the world – and first amongst non-joint
programmes in Asia – for the
second consecutive year with the release of the
latest Financial Times global Executive MBA
ranking today. Earlier this year, the school's MBA programme was
also ranked fifth by the FT, further highlighting
CEIBS' strength and international influence in the field of
management education.
"This year marks the 25th anniversary of the
founding of CEIBS and this achievement is a big gift to add to the
celebration," CEIBS President Li Mingjun said. "Over the past 25
years, CEIBS has witnessed the rapid development of China's economy. During that time, CEIBS has
grown into a leading, world-class business school. As China begins to play a more significant role
in economic globalisation, the focus of global management education
is gradually shifting east. The future calls for talent with both
international vision and China
wisdom, and CEIBS has assumed the responsibility of cultivating
more corporate leaders."
Due to its stringent standards for participation and diverse
criteria, the FT's annual ranking has become one of the
most widely recognised in the global management education
community. The rankings are based on a comprehensive assessment of
16 categories, covering graduate career progress, school diversity,
and teaching and research levels. Corporate social responsibility
(CSR) was also included in the criteria for the second time in
2019.
"With this latest news, for the first time, our EMBA and MBA
programmes have ranked in the top ten in the world for two
consecutive years," CEIBS Vice President and Dean Ding Yuan said. "There has been relatively
little movement at the very top of the ranking and this is a sign
that the market for global management education is reaching a point
of maturity. As a business school rooted in China, CEIBS' success in ranking in the top
five for two consecutive years highlights the rise of management
education in China and
Asia. It also shows the school's
efforts in promoting globalisation have paid off."
Taking a closer look at the categories factored into the
ranking, CEIBS' Global EMBA graduates have again achieved
remarkable results in terms of "salary level" and "salary
increase". CEIBS finished third in the world in terms of "salary
level", and has remained in the world's top five for seven
consecutive years. In addition, the school's "work experience" and
"aims achieved" rankings moved up more than ten places each. CEIBS
also ranked seventh in terms of "career progress", where it entered
the top ten in the world for the first time.
In the category of "international faculty", CEIBS jumped three
spots from 2018, while at the same time moving up two positions
each in the categories of "international students" and
"international course experience". CEIBS leverages its overseas
campuses and a strong network of partner schools to facilitate
modules at locations on five continents, including Switzerland, the US, Brazil, Israel, India, Ghana
and Southeast Asia. These
opportunities serve to further enrich the international experience
of students.
Equally striking, the school's "FT research rank" increased 18
places, thus confirming the strength of academic research at CEIBS.
Since 2014, CEIBS' professors have ranked first on Elsevier's list
of most highly cited scholars in China in the category of "Business, Management
and Accounting". In 2017, the school also launched its Real
Situation Learning MethodTM, combining classroom
learning with real-world experiences where students can visit
companies and meet face-to-face with company executives.
"Academic research is an important criterion in business school
rankings, and the 'FT research rank' is based on both the total and
average number of articles published by a school's current
full-time faculty in 50 globally-recognised top economics and
management journals," CEIBS Associate Dean (Research) and Professor
of Economics and Finance Xu Bin
said. "After many years of continuous effort, CEIBS has established
an effective system of faculty research management and incentive
policies, which has greatly enhanced faculty research activity and
creativity. The big increase of CEIBS' 'FT research rank' is a
natural reflection of this continuous effort."
CEIBS' "corporate social responsibility rank" also rose ten
spots, reflecting the various efforts of the school in promoting
CSR. CEIBS was the first business school on the Chinese mainland to
promote CSR and it holds a series of CSR-related activities each
year to encourage alumni to elevate social responsibility to the
level of corporate development strategy.
"The CEIBS Global EMBA programme continues to keep pace with the
latest economic trends and optimise our curriculum," CEIBS Global
EMBA Director, Associate Dean and Professor of Operations
Management Nikolaos Tsikriktsis said. "At the same time, the
programme contributes Chinese know-how to overseas companies
entering the Chinese market, and has helped usher in the
globalisation of Chinese enterprises."
