On 29th March 2025, around 80 Global EMBA students arrived at CEIBS Shanghai campus to meet for the final time as students. Ready to ‘turn the tassel’, they came as students but left as graduates and fully fledged alumni of the wider GEMBA family.

A record new high for the school.

On March 22, China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) held a graduation ceremony for the MBA Class of 2025 at its Shanghai campus. A total of 121 graduates from 18 countries and regions around the world gathered to celebrate the momentous occasion. As a gentle spring breeze wafted through the campus, an atmosphere of exuberance and hopeful anticipation for the future filled the air.

Throughout their academic journey, these new graduates have absorbed knowledge in the classroom and honed their skills through practical experience. Now, they embark on a new chapter, determined to emerge as leaders in their respective industries.

As China’s automotive industry continues its rapid ascent on the global stage, CEIBS Shanghai campus today welcomed CEO and Member of the Board of Directors of OPmobility Laurent Favre for an insightful talk on “Chinese Automotive Industry: Opportunities and Challenges in Going Overseas.”

China must cooperate and coordinate with Europe and other countries and regions in the face of shifting global dynamics, with real opportunities still existing for enterprises hoping to expand both into and out of the country provided they do so with strategic insight and careful consideration, according to views shared at the CEIBS Innovation Forum Beijing today.

In accordance with CEIBS regulations, the Global EMBA programme department will recognise five top participants from each graduation cohort. The list of candidates is open to public comment until 17:00 on March 15th, 2025.
