I hear consistently that CEIBS graduates get really good jobs in China based MNCs. Does anyone have some idea on what the job prospects for CEIBS graduates are in the other nearby growing economies like Singapore, India, Korea, etc? Is CEIBS recognized outside China?

CEIBS is a regional MBA... just like HK-UST, NUS, NTU...

With CEIBS MBA, you'll be a big shot in shanghai...
but if you step outside china, you're basically a nobody...

Of course, if you build your network in China, and have 5+ years of work experiences in Shanghai, ... Everybody on this Planet, will love to hire you since everybody want to go into china...

also, if you study MBA in china, you can go ahead try your luck on entrepreneurship, it costs only ~US$10k to start a good business...

Best of luck!

"CEIBS is a regional MBA" - i wouldn't say that. CEIBS is a highly ranked program, one of the leading in the world and the Alumni are amongst the best payed in the world. i think you stand a good chance of getting good jobs in Asia. in fact, 2 of the companies that recruit there the most are not chines: Tesco and michelin.

Are you by any chance an HK-UST alumni ?

Recently I bought the Economist 'Which MBA?' Magz, and it's shown that most placement from HK-UST are AXA, cushman *something*.
They are also hardly on anyones wish list.

I believe Hong Kong Univ MBA program is one of the best program in Hong Kong, but how come nobody ever mention their name in this Forum.

i wouldn't say it wasn't mentioned in this forum - take a look at that:

i think the reason why HKUST is mentioned ofter has to do with the fact that it is still higher ranked(although they climbed in the economist rankings this year to 38). HKUST is also considered one of the best schools in china.

IMO anyone with a MBA out of the 3 above mentioned schools should have no problem getting a good job after finishing the degree - china is a very important market for almost all big multinationals, and people with knowledge of this market will be always welcomed.

yes you are right, ust is actually over marketed, i would say hku is the best in hong kong.

do you care to elaborate? what are the reasons to make you belive that?
this is not a bushing, i am truly interested!

HKUST do seem to have a good marketing department, but i agree that it doesn't say anything about the quality of the school, and rankings can be misleading!
would you say hku is better because of the faculty? business connections? partnerships? ???
and also - is there a big difference in the price of the two programs?

I live in Hong Kong, to tell you the truth, local people only see ust is no 3 university in hk in general, of course it is still the best three in hk, and it is nothing special to attend this school to the local people.

I am applying to HK-UST next month because their degree is recognized in asia, no matter you go. Better than any those Chinese MBA. HK-UST research centres for business are top notch, however the faculties are pretty unknown (expect this one guy called proffesor larry franklin, this guy is an ASSET to HK-UST).

Well, i assume that even the local on the street people in HK is very knowledgeable nowadays to know the concept of mba. Without backing evidence, i would not be so bold to say that "ALL" genius students in mainland apply to one school or the other.

WAHAHA..............

Perhaps this post on some other site may help


See MBA graduates from IIM are able to get 1Cr. salary and there are people from abroad institutes such as CEIBS who are still looking for jobs after passing out. In my institute CEIBS, there were 3 Indians who could not find jobs last year. Infact one of them searched for job for 1 long year. This year also only very few international people got job at CEIBS. Now everybody is pulling out their own personal connections to search for jobs. Hence, an international MBA is not as worth as you think.

But yes if you leave apart the job issue than you get a lot from International MBA, which is way more valuable than job. So, if you are coming to CEIBS for a job then dont come.

I am currently studying at CEIBS and can tell you that this is a world class institute in lot of parameters and perhaps way better than ISB in terms of exposure. But then you have to take your own decision that whether you are doing MBA for job or a long term investment.

I would believe this also is true with Tsinghua - For international students expecting a great recruitment and salary package - MBA in China is not the answer. Instead, the MBA is a seed you plant while embarking on a long road in China. As the tree grows, it will help you along the way, whether through credibility, network, or knowledge gained (working with Chinese people in the many group work studies you do in a Chinese MBA). The reason you choose Tsinghua or CEIBS over the other MBAs is to get the best network possible. Eventually, 5 years down from your MBA, you will have hopefully learned enough Chinese to speak better than most other foreigners in China and you will have a network that will outrival most other foreigners in China. Thus, these two assets couples with your core competence should get you a $100K+ salary. The road during those 5 years however, is often a so so $40-$80K jobs.
