Since its launch in 1994, the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) has solidified its reputation as the leading international business school in Asia and one of the top b-schools in the world. A not-for-profit Sino-European joint venture, CEIBS is headquartered at its largest campus in Shanghai – within the free trade zone area in Pudong. CEIBS also has campuses in China's political capital, Beijing as well as in Zurich in the heart of Europe. The school also operates programmes from its facilities in Shenzhen to China's south and Accra in Africa. CEIBS was the first Asia-based business school to simultaneously achieve top-tier global rankings for its MBA, EMBA and Executive Education programmes, and was the first business school in mainland China to earn the internationally recognised EQUIS accreditation. CEIBS is also mainland China's leading business school, with three programmes globally ranked by the Financial Times. After more than 20 years of phenomenal growth, CEIBS has an impressive alumni base of more than 18,000 members across the globe, the majority of whom are top-level decision makers. The CEIBS Vision & Mission: To educate responsible leaders versed in "China Depth, Global Breadth". To become the most respected international business school by linking East and West in teaching, research, and business practice and by promoting China's social and economic development through high-impact knowledge creation and dissemination.
