China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) has soared to #2 in the 
Financial Times' 2020 ranking of the world's top 100 EMBA programmes. This is 
the third consecutive year CEIBS' Global EMBA has appeared in the top five and 
is the highest ever ranking for a stand-alone EMBA programme in Asia. In 
January, the school's full-time MBA programme was also ranked #5 globally and 
#1 in Asia for the second consecutive year. The ranking further cements CEIBS' 
position as one of the top business schools in the world.

Due to its strong methodology and broad participation, the FT's annual ranking 
is amongst the most widely recognised in business management education. The 
ranking takes into consideration numerous indicators related to business 
schools' academics and diversity, while also tracking students' career 
progress, as well as schools' research and corporate social responsibility 
efforts.

"As China's economy continues to show resilience in bouncing back from a 
challenging year, CEIBS has excelled in its role as a bridge for economic and 
cultural exchange between China and the world, while acting as a platform for 
business leaders to flourish," says CEIBS President Wang Hong. "The FT ranking 
once again demonstrates CEIBS' impressive growth over its 26 year history to 
reach its current place amongst the best schools in the world. Looking ahead, 
we will continue to fulfil our motto of 'Conscientiousness, Innovation and 
Excellence', while promoting globalisation."

Despite the disruption caused by COVID-19 this year, CEIBS has demonstrated a 
combination of innovation and perseverance in managing the impact of the 
pandemic on its operations. After welcoming Global EMBA students back for 
offline learning in September, the school launched a twin city model for its 
full-time MBA programme – with sections opening in both Shanghai and Zurich – 
in order to accommodate those unable to travel to China due to temporary 
virus-related travel restrictions.

"As we move on from the challenges we have experienced in 2020, business 
management education has never been more important," says CEIBS President 
(European) Dipak Jain. "We have successfully adapted to ensure our students 
could continue learning throughout this time and the Global EMBA programme is a 
great example of this. At the same time, our students and alumni have continued 
to play an integral role in making CEIBS an important platform for success."

CEIBS' position in this year's ranking also speaks to the overall strength of 
the school and both its Chinese and international faculty. With nearly 20 
research centres and a case centre partnered with some of the world's top case 
libraries, the school has remained committed to the creation and dissemination 
of business and economic knowledge.

"The hard work and innovative thinking of our faculty have made them some of 
the most sought-after thought leaders and most-cited researchers in China 
today," says CEIBS Vice President and Dean Ding Yuan. "We have also recently 
launched a new initiative aimed at promoting cross-disciplinary research 
bridging traditional academic disciplines with areas such as corporate social 
responsibility and sustainability, China and the world, management in the 
digital age and service excellence."

Unlike other top business schools, many of which have partnered up to offer 
joint-EMBA programmes, CEIBS has unwaveringly pursued an independent approach, 
establishing five campuses in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen, as well as Zurich 
(Switzerland) and Accra (Ghana), to offer a truly international course 
experience. The school has also consistently attracted a diverse group of 
international students seeking to advance their careers in China and Chinese 
business executives seeking to expand their horizons into overseas markets.

"Our Global EMBA programme provides a truly global experience for participants 
by leveraging our campuses on three continents. The programme caters both to 
global participants looking for a window on China as well as Chinese executives 
shifting into global roles," says Global EMBA Director Nikos Tsikriktsis. "With 
participants from more than 20 countries and across the full spectrum of 
industries and functions, our classroom is a unique environment where 
participants can step away from their daily routines and explore business 
challenges from a multitude of perspectives."

In line with its mission to educate responsible business leaders, CEIBS has 
continued to excel in the area of corporate social responsibility. The school 
first introduced CSR into its curriculum more than a decade ago and began 
publishing an annual CSR white paper in 2018.

The next GEMBA class begins on December 6, when the school will welcome over 80 
high-achieving executives from 15 countries to Shanghai to launch their 
20-month learning journey.
