Master of Business Administration from Qingpu, China
Build your next chapter without leaving the life you have built in Qingpu. The online Master of Business Administration, offered by the University of Cumbria in exclusive partnership with Robert Kennedy College, gives you the opportunity to develop business and leadership skills while continuing to live and work in China. Its ideas and frameworks can be applied across industries and international markets.
Earn an internationally recognised British degree
Graduating with a British degree from the University of Cumbria can help you present your achievements to employers and professional contacts across borders. It is a qualification that reflects your commitment to advancing your knowledge and capabilities.
Whether your ambitions lie in Qingpu, elsewhere in China or further afield, an internationally recognised degree can support conversations about your next step. You can pursue that goal while remaining connected to your current career and community.
Complete your studies 100% online in as little as one year
The programme can be completed entirely online in as little as one year. You can work towards a substantial academic goal without relocating or putting your plans in Qingpu on hold.
A focused path to graduation can be especially appealing if you are ready to put new thinking to use. As you study, you can consider how the concepts relate to the decisions and challenges you encounter at work.
Study without fixed online attendance times
You do not need to be online at specific times and dates to take part in your studies. That flexibility makes it easier to plan learning around work commitments, family life and the demands of a changing schedule.
You might study before the working day begins, revisit a topic in the evening or set aside time on a weekend. The freedom to choose when you engage with your materials helps you build a routine that works for you.
Take your learning wherever you go
Because the programme is online, your studies can travel with you, whether you are at home in Qingpu, visiting another city or travelling internationally. Your progress need not depend on staying in one place.
The mobile app lets you download study materials and watch lectures offline. That means a journey or time away from a reliable connection can still become an opportunity to learn.
Show what you know through open-book assessments
Open-book assessments offer an alternative to classical question-and-answer exams. Rather than relying on recall alone, you can work with the ideas and resources you have studied.
This approach gives you room to analyse a problem, develop an argument and explain the reasoning behind your decisions. Those are valuable habits for anyone seeking to lead, manage or contribute to complex business discussions.
Learn with internationally educated faculty
Your tutors and faculty bring academic backgrounds that include world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their varied educational experiences can add breadth to the perspectives you encounter.
Engaging with faculty who have studied in different academic environments can encourage you to test assumptions and consider more than one way forward. It is an opportunity to strengthen your thinking as well as your knowledge.
Join a community spanning more than 130 countries
A student base representing more than 130 countries can make the online learning experience genuinely international. Discussing ideas with people whose careers and experiences differ from yours can help you see business challenges from new angles.
Alumni work for organisations including SAIC, DHL, Louis Vuitton, Bosch, CK Hutchison, BASF, Nestlé, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, Tencent, Sinopec, JKFZ Cambridge International School, RYB Education, CNOOC, PetroChina, AIA, ICBC Standard Bank, ICBC Bank, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Siemens and Sony.
Plan your payments with interest-free instalments
Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments over time can help you plan for your studies alongside your other commitments.
With a clearer view of how payments can be scheduled, you can concentrate on the opportunity ahead: making time to learn, developing your confidence and working towards graduation.
Put your learning to work in Qingpu
Qingpu’s manufacturing activity and its connections to the wider Yangtze River Delta create opportunities to think about operations, strategy and change. For graduates working with manufacturers or their suppliers, MBA frameworks can offer fresh ways to assess processes, coordinate teams and make decisions as markets evolve.
The district’s position near Shanghai’s Hongqiao transport and business hub also makes logistics, distribution and cross-regional collaboration relevant to many local careers. Graduates involved in supply chains or trade can apply what they have learned when weighing priorities, communicating across functions and planning for growth.
Qingpu is also connected to Shanghai’s broader development in commerce, technology and services. Whether you hope to advance within an established organisation or develop a new venture, the programme can help you approach opportunities with a wider international perspective while building your future from where you are.
