CEIBS will operate a four-round admissions process for its MBA program in the coming academic year. Deadlines and decision dates for each of these rounds are presented in the table below.

What Do I Need to Submit with My Application?

Applicants must have completed a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent and have a minimum of two years full-time work experience. A valid GMAT score is recommended, but CEIBS also accepts GRE and CEIBS Admission Test scores. Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in the English language. Other application components include a one-page resume, essays, two letters of recommendation (in English or Chinese), a digital headshot, copies of degrees/certificates, scanned copy of ID/passport (as applicable), and the $180 application fee.

How Does the CEIBS MBA Interview Process Work?

Interviews are required for admission and are by invitation only. CEIBS applicants note their preference for an in-person or virtual interview in the application; CEIBS prefers a face-to-face interview. In-person interviews are conducted in Shanghai, Beijing or Shenzhen. CEIBS’ faculty, alumni and senior staff make up the interview panel.
