SHANGHAI, Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

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.
