CEIBS has an exceptionally strong alumni network on the Chinese mainland, particularly in major commercial centres such as Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangdong, and Zhejiang. For many graduates, these cities are where career progression accelerates, especially in industries closely tied to China’s economic growth.

Beyond the Chinese mainland, the network also extends across the Asia-Pacific, with alumni working in markets such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and India. There is also a growing presence in Europe, Africa, and North America, supported by regional alumni chapters and professional associations and bolstered by the school’s campuses in Zurich (Switzerland) and Accra (Ghana).

For international candidates, this distribution has a clear implication. The CEIBS network offers exceptional access to China and Asia-Pacific markets while maintaining strong connections across other global regions. It does not position itself as a purely local network, but as one anchored in China and connected internationally.

In practical terms, this means that wherever a graduate moves next, there is often an existing CEIBS community to connect with: people who understand both the local market and the shared experience of the programme.
