On the 9th of March, 2011 TONGJI & MANNHEIM EMBA Program was officially launched in SEM, Tongji University. The Executive part-time English-taught MBA Program has been jointly created by Mannheim Business School (MBS) and Tongji University in Shanghai. Both institutions have long been leading in the field of management education on their respective continents and are regarded as placing a strong emphasis on research.
Dr. Michael Schaefer, German Ambassador, Dr. Gang PEI, President of Tongji University and Dr. Jianhua SHEN, President of SAIC Group, were invited to be present at the ceremony. Prof. Jens Wuestemann, Dean of MANNHEIM Business School and Prof. Jiazhen HUO, Dean of SEM, Tongji, delivered welcome speech. Also presented at the ceremony are TONGJI & MANNHEIM EMBA Advisory Board Members and 32 first EMBA class students of the program from China, Germany, Switzerland, India and other countries.
With its highly flexible structure and unique content, the MANNHEIM & TONGJI EMBA program will give executives from around the world the skills and tools they need for positions in international top management. The participants must complete six course modules which last nine to eleven days: three in Mannheim and three in Shanghai. It is possible to complete the double degree program within one and a half years; however, students are free to take breaks or to only take individual courses within a module. Moreover, it will be possible to register for individual courses and modules without pursuing a degree. The modules could be completed within five years, and students will receive EMBA degrees from both universities.
The Executive MBA program covers all essential general management areas with a strong focus on Sino-German business topics. Curriculum requirements include training in key qualifications essential to a leadership position, guest lectures, company visits, and excursions.
Admission requirements for the MANNHEIM & TONGJI Executive MBA are: a first academic degree, at least eight years of work experience including leadership experience, international experience, a strong Sino-German affinity, and very good English skills. The tuition fee of the program will be €42,000; introductory fees for a program start in 2011 will be €29,900 and €38,000 for those who will start the program in 2012. It is possible to start the Executive MBA program with each one of the modules. Applications will be accepted throughout the entire year.
Established in 1907, Mannheim Business School GmbH (MBS) ranks top in the fields of economics and management rankings in Germany. Moreover, it is the only German school accredited by AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA. The new MANNHEIM & TONGJI Executive MBA (EMBA) program is targeted at top executives active in both markets.
