Your time is precious. This programme is structured so that dedicated professionals can complete it 100% online in as little as one year. That means you can accelerate your learning, fast-track your career goals, and apply new knowledge in real time—without putting your life or work on hold.

The accelerated path is balanced by robust academic support, clear milestones, and engaging learning materials. If your schedule requires a different pace, you can opt for a timeline that suits your workload while still making consistent progress toward graduation.

No Fixed Login Times—Flexibility That Works with Your Life

There are no mandatory live sessions at specific times or dates. You decide when to study—early in the morning, late at night, during a lunch break, or over the weekend. This flexibility ensures that your learning adapts to your commitments, not the other way around.

Discussion forums, recorded lectures, and guided activities let you participate meaningfully without sacrificing your work or family responsibilities. You are free to set a study rhythm that helps you absorb concepts deeply and steadily.

Study Anywhere—Even Offline with Our Mobile App

Learning should move with you. With our mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline—ideal for commutes, travel, and busy days when you’re away from your desk. Whether you are on the road within China or traveling internationally, your MBA is always within reach.

This mobility turns every moment into an opportunity to advance your studies. Use downtime during trips, coffee breaks, or quiet evenings to review readings, contribute to discussions, and reflect on how to apply what you learn to the challenges and opportunities you face at work.

Open-Book Assessments for Real-World Problem Solving

Instead of classical question/answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments that emphasize analysis, synthesis, and application. This approach mirrors the way business decisions happen in real life—where your ability to evaluate information and make sound judgments matters more than memorising facts.

Open-book assessments encourage you to connect theory with practice. You’ll draw on course materials, research, and your professional experience to craft thoughtful responses, refine your critical thinking, and demonstrate the leadership mindset employers value.

Learn from Faculty Educated at World-Renowned Institutions

Your tutors bring rich academic and industry experience to the classroom, and many have graduated from top universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. Their insights, mentorship, and real-world perspective add depth and relevance to every module.

With faculty who understand both theory and practice, you’ll receive guidance that helps you master complex concepts and apply them with confidence. This blend of scholarly rigor and practitioner insight is a hallmark of the programme’s teaching culture.

Join a Global Cohort and Network for Life

With students from over 130 countries, the programme offers a vibrant international community. You will learn alongside peers who bring diverse perspectives from different markets and sectors, enriching your understanding and sharpening your cross-cultural communication skills. These relationships often grow into a lifelong network that supports your career for years to come.
