CEIBS' status as a world-class business school was underlined this week as its 
Global EMBA programme placed second in the Financial Times' 2021 EMBA ranking 
once again. This is the second consecutive year CEIBS has been ranked #2 and 
the fourth consecutive year it has appeared in the top five. The latest release 
also makes CEIBS' Global EMBA the top-ranked single-school programme in Asia. 
The school's full-time MBA programme was ranked #7 in the world and #1 in Asia 
by the business media outlet this February.

"Over the past 27 years, CEIBS has adhered to a spirit of 'Conscientiousness, 
Innovation and Excellence' to emerge as a leading business school in Asia and 
the world. This latest ranking cements the school's place in the top tier of 
global management education and will serve as an important milestone in our 
development over the next five years," CEIBS President Wang Hong says. "Despite 
the global pandemic, China's economy has continued to grow, demonstrating its 
unique resilience and potential. In step with the country's development, CEIBS 
will continue to be a bridge connecting China with Europe and the world, and a 
platform for training top international business leaders."

The FT's ranking is widely considered to be the most comprehensive and 
influential of its kind in the world, and is based on surveys of schools and 
their alumni looking at factors such as career progress, faculty and diversity, 
research and corporate social responsibility (CSR). 

"Today's announcement is testament not only to the strength of our faculty and 
the Global EMBA programme, but also the on-going support we have received from 
our students and alumni community. Our achievements as a business school are 
something that we can all share and celebrate," CEIBS President (European) 
Dipak Jain says. "The success and generosity of our students and alumni 
continue to be a point of pride for the school. As we look ahead to the future, 
we will do everything to fully empower our alumni and work together to take 
CEIBS to even greater heights." 

The Global EMBA's strengths are reflected in many of the ranking's individual 
metrics. In terms of average salary today, the programme again ranked second 
worldwide, demonstrating the return-on-investment CEIBS graduates enjoy. The 
programme's work experience rank jumped four places, reflecting the depth of 
industry experience and senior management acumen Global EMBA students bring to 
the classroom. Meanwhile, our world-class faculty helped CEIBS climb eight 
spots up the FT research rank, a sign of their growing influence.

"As the world increasingly looks to the Chinese market for fresh innovations 
and business practices, CEIBS faculty are playing a leading role in 
cutting-edge knowledge creation and dissemination by way of signature research 
areas, and over 100 China-focused business cases published each year," CEIBS 
Vice President and Dean Ding Yuan says. "We also offer our students the 
opportunity to understand China's evolving place in global business on a deeper 
level, directly informed by what is going on here and now. As China continues 
to shape international business trends, our role will further grow in 
importance."

The Global EMBA programme boasts a highly international student body, as well 
as a 40% female ratio (the highest amongst all FT top 30-ranked programmes). It 
also brings together executives from a broad range of functions, industries and 
organisations to create an environment suited to those looking to expand their 
horizons. With a strong focus on developing leadership skills, the programme 
challenges participants with a range of immersive, experiential exercises, to 
enable personal and professional transformation.

"The uncertainty and volatility of the global economy today requires executives 
in every industry to be adaptable and open-minded. At the same time, the world 
needs empathetic, responsible business leaders who have a desire to create a 
lasting positive impact, not only on their own organisations, but also on 
broader society," CEIBS Associate Dean and Global EMBA Director Bala Ramasamy 
says. "The Global EMBA programme develops global leaders who consistently think 
beyond the short-term needs of their organisations and instinctively reach for 
viable, sustainable long-term solutions and strategies."

The Global EMBA programme achieved an overall satisfaction rating of 9.3 (out 
of 10) in this year's FT ranking, a firm indication of CEIBS' commitment to 
delivering the most engaging, relevant, valuable and enjoyable experience 
possible to every student.

The school will welcome a new Global EMBA cohort on November 6, 2021. With 
nearly 100 participants enrolled, it will be one of the most diverse, 
academically proficient and professionally experienced groups in the 
programme's history.
