CEIBS Switzerland AG

China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) was co-founded by the Chinese government and European Union (EU) in 1994, with Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the EFMD serving as its executive partners. CEIBS has campuses in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Zurich in Switzerland, and Accra in Ghana.

As China’s only business school to originate from government-level collaboration, CEIBS is committed to educating responsible leaders versed in ‘China Depth, Global Breadth’ in line with its motto of ‘Conscientiousness, Innovation and Excellence’. Leaders from the Chinese central government and the EU, respectively, have lauded CEIBS as “a cradle of excellent executives” and “a role model of EU-China co-operation”.

CEIBS offers MBA, Finance MBA, EMBA, Global EMBA, Hospitality EMBA, DBA (Switzerland), and Executive Education programmes. CEIBS was the first business school on the Chinese mainland to be accredited by both EQUIS and AACSB. CEIBS has placed #1 in Asia in the FT’s ranking of global MBA programmes for eight consecutive years, and has been ranked in the top 2 on its global EMBA list for four consecutive years.

The CEIBS Zurich Campus is in Horgen, on the shore of Lake Zurich, 18km from the city centre. Campus buildings are connected by a futuristic-looking glass facade. The campus features three large lecture theatres, group rooms, office space and three executive apartments.

Hosting participants from the MBA, EMBA, GEMBA and HEMBA programmes, as well as customised Executive Education programmes, the Zurich Campus serves as a satellite of CEIBS' main campus in China and as a bridge between Europe and China for the school. In 2019, a major expansion project doubled the size and capacity of the campus.
