MBA Degree Program (taught in English):
The one-year Cheung Kong MBA curriculum provides students with a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of business theory and practice, while also addressing the cultural and ethical perspectives relevant to doing business in Asia. This program is based in Beijing.

The program aims to equip graduates with the analytical ability and confidence to face the uncertainties characteristic of real-world situations, deal with complex business issues systematically and creatively, and make sound judgments in the absence of complete data.

Course Content:

The Cheung Kong academic year begins in late fall and consists of six consecutive modules. Each module ends with exams and is followed by a break.

The first three modules (November-April) cover required business fundamentals (economics, finance, marketing, management, and operations), and form the core curriculum. Module 4 (June-August) provides a selection of business electives, allowing students to pursue their particular career development needs. Modules 5 and 6 (August-December) cover China business topics as well as additional electives, such as Confucian Humanism, which instills an understanding of the ethical context for China business.

The program has partnerships with top business schools and companies in Asia, Europe and North America.

The program is available in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Cheung Kong EMBA alumni form what has become one of the most influential business networks in Greater China. The EMBA program enrolls top executives, with over 80 percent of students ranking at the vice president level and above.

Students are required to spend extensive time at school in order to become familiar with learning tools and each other. Classes held on different campuses are independent from each other, but a portion of all courses are held at the Beijing campus for networking purposes. A broad range of electives are offered to complement the core curriculum.
