May 9, 2025. Shanghai - CEIBS is proud to announce the official launch of the Global Master in Management (Global MiM) CEIBS (Switzerland) – ESCP Double Degree Programme, a dynamic new addition to its programme portfolio. This premier two-year journey in management education is now open for applications from recent undergraduate and graduate students worldwide.

Delivered jointly by CEIBS and ESCP - two of the world’s top-ranked business schools - and spanning the four global business hubs of Shanghai, Paris, London, and Zurich, this new programme offers students a transformative experience designed to foster a new generation of global business leaders.

Aimed at offering “China Edge, Global Experience”, the joint programme delivers unparalleled international immersion and deep exposure to China’s fast-evolving business environment. While CEIBS and ESCP have their roots in Shanghai and Paris, respectively, both schools cover much more than China and France, with outposts across China, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Graduates will emerge from the programme with two master's degrees from top-ranked global business schools, along with lifetime access to two elite business school alumni networks surpassing 100,000 outstanding business leaders, making them uniquely positioned to lead in a complex and dynamic world.

In 2025, we celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations between China and the EU. This relationship, and the world around it, are changing. While Europe remains a highly developed region, China has made significant strides and now leads in many areas that are vital to the future. This new era requires a new generation of young talent that is deeply connected and fully aware of the business landscape in China, Europe, and beyond.

The Global Master in Management (Global MiM) CEIBS (Switzerland) – ESCP Double Degree Programme will nurture this type of talent through a programme that is truly integrated into both regions, based on a unified global curriculum. 

At a recent launch ceremony for the programme, CEIBS Vice President and Dean Frank Bournois asserted that “the CEIBS – ESCP Global Master in Management is not merely a programme, it is a statement of intent - to shape, to inspire, and to propel a new generation of leaders. Born of Europe and China, the degree is not simply international, it is intercultural, intergenerational, and interdisciplinary”, emphasising that the double degree will serve as a bridge of excellence, trust, and vision that will reshape global business leadership between China and Europe.
