CEIBS’ main campus in Shanghai was built in 1999 and designed by famed Chinese architect IM Pei, a principal at Pei Cobb, Freed & Partners. The MBA, FMBA, EMBA, Global EMBA, Hospitality EMBA and Executive Education programmes are all offered at this location.

In April 2010 CEIBS held the Grand Opening for its Beijing Campus, giving the school its second stand-alone campus. The 3.3 hectare facility, designed by renowned Spanish architectural firm IDOM, is initially focused on offering EMBA and Executive Education classes. Phase I of the facility includes a 350-seat Grand Auditorium and 7 classrooms seating 500 students in total. The facility is located in Beijing’s Zhongguancun Software Park, known as “China’s Silicon Valley”.

CEIBS also offers Executive Education courses from its Shenzhen Campus and, in March 2009, officially began the CEIBS Africa Programme with EMBA classes taught in Accra, Ghana, CEIBS’ Africa Campus. The programme is taught by CEIBS professors; the students meet the same entrance standards required for China-based programmes, and receive a degree from CEIBS. The first class of EMBA students in Africa graduated on December 9, 2010. Later, CEIBS expanded its Africa offerings to include Executive Education programmes, as well as the Women Entrepreneurship and Leadership for Africa (WELA) programme offered in Accra, Nairobi, Lagos, etc. In 2016 the Africa EMBA became a part of the re-launched CEIBS Global EMBA, offering participants from the region an opportunity to study alongside their peers not just China but also Europe.

In 2015, CEIBS acquired the Lorange Institute of Business, Zurich. In 2017, the LIBZ was fully integrated into CEIBS’ operations and the name changed to the Zurich Institute of Business Education (ZIBE). This is CEIBS’ Zurich Campus where Study Tours and Executive Education courses are offered. The Zurich Campus is also among the venues for the CEIBS Global EMBA which has two integrated cohorts running between China, Europe and Africa and is ranked among the Financial Times Top 20 eight years in a row (as of 2017).
