What the CEIBS EMBA Includes
CEIBS EMBA
-
The traditional CEIBS Executive MBA (EMBA) is a 24-month, part-time programme offered on the Chinese mainland (in Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen).
-
Classes are typically in Mandarin, though some courses may accommodate English with interpretation.
-
Designed for senior domestic executives with at least 8 years of work experience (incl. 5 years in managerial roles).
-
This programme represents CEIBS's longstanding commitment to executive education in China and remains a core offering for those focusing on growth within China or Chinese-language business contexts.
CEIBS Global EMBA (GEMBA)
-
The GEMBA is CEIBS's globally-oriented, part-time Executive MBA, a 24-month programme delivered across multiple campuses and global module locations (Shanghai, plus Europe, Africa, etc.).
-
The structure includes monthly (or bi-monthly) modules: e.g., 4 days every month or 8 days every two months, allowing working executives to continue their professional roles while studying.
-
The curriculum comprises core business fundamentals, plus streams such as Leadership, Global Breadth, China Depth, and ESG, offering a balanced mix of China-specific insight and international business exposure.
-
The cohort is highly international, with participants coming from many countries and regions, making GEMBA suited for executives aiming for global or cross-border leadership roles.
-
The tuition fee for the Global EMBA (GEMBA) 2025 intake is USD 118,000 (RMB ≈ 848,000). The application fee is USD 250 (RMB 1,800) and may be waived if you take the Executive Assessment, per CEIBS guidance.
CEIBS HEMBA (Hospitality EMBA / Hybrid EMBA)
-
CEIBS also offers an HEMBA described as Hospitality EMBA (or Hybrid / industry-specialised EMBA). This programme caters to senior executives in service-oriented industries.
-
The HEMBA runs part-time across roughly 24 months and is built with flexible scheduling. Most teaching takes place in Shanghai, with some global modules offered through partner institutions abroad.
-
Classes are delivered in Chinese or English, with interpretation available when needed. This setup allows executives from diverse backgrounds to follow the programme comfortably, regardless of their language preferences.
-
HEMBA thus offers a niche path for leaders in industries such as hospitality, services, and global operations, especially relevant if your career trajectory is outside traditional corporate sectors.
How We Support You: Our 4-Step EMBA Admissions Process
At Leadearly, we guide top-tier professionals through the admissions journey for the CEIBS Global EMBA (and other leading EMBA programmes) with a structured, step-by-step approach. Here's how we support you, the same proven process we apply for all EMBA candidates.
1. Profile Assessment & Test Strategy
We start by reviewing your profile, work experience, leadership experience, academic record, and long-term goals. This helps us spot what already works well and what needs attention. Based on that we outline the most effective admissions path for you. If an exam like the Executive Assessment or GMAT/GRE could strengthen your case, or if a waiver makes more sense, we help you decide the best route.
2. Application Preparation
Once your profile is mapped out, we work with you to shape each part of your CEIBS EMBA application; your career story, essays, résumé, and references. The goal is to present a clear picture of your leadership record, the impact you’ve created, and the international outlook the school looks for. Every document is refined to reflect who you are and how you fit what CEIBS values.
3. Interview Practice
If you’re shortlisted, the interview becomes a key part of the process. We run practice sessions that mirror the real format, then give focused feedback on how you communicate and present your experience. You’ll learn how to express your goals, your international outlook, and why you’re a strong match for CEIBS. By the time you face the actual panel, you feel steady, prepared, and clear about your message.
4. Offer & Scholarship Guidance
After offers come in, we help you evaluate them strategically, weighing factors such as scholarship opportunities, career goals, and long-term value. If scholarships or financial aid are applicable, we also guide you through that process, enhancing your chances of securing funding.
