Top three industries

Technology, financial services and healthcare maintained their places as the top three industries, attracting nearly 70% of this year’s CEIBS MBA graduates. Backed by extensive resources, a rigorous curriculum to hone leadership potential and a powerful alumni network, 75.8% of graduates were also successful in switching careers.

In terms of job function, nearly 30% landed general management roles, followed closely by marketing/sales (24.3%) and finance/accounting (23.2%). Also, more than 17% of graduates will begin their post-MBA careers on Leadership Development Programmes (LDP).

This year’s graduates will rejoin the workforce in more than ten countries and regions, with 84% concentrated in the Chinese mainland. Amongst international graduates (with varying levels of fluency in Mandarin), 25% landed opportunities in the Chinese mainland, with the remaining 75% continuing their careers in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America.
