A minimum of 5 years' working experience for Bachelor's degree means, if you hold a Bachelor's degree, you will need 5 years of full-time work experience. For Master's degree, you will need 3 years' working experience. For example, those who will have five years of working experience by September 2026 are eligible to apply for 2026 CEIBS FMBA Programme.

In addition, applicants must have at least two years of managerial experience, i.e., leading a company or a team for a certain project. We suggest that applicants showcase their working experience and managerial expertise in the essay part (of the application form) and recommendation letters so as to help the Admission Committee better assess their leadership potential.
