Our Full-time MBA students had a fruitful journey in Shanghai and Beijing in March 2025. As part of the 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 (𝗖𝗜𝗣), we took our students to different cities in China to dive deep into the nation’s rich culture. This time, we also collaborated with the Career Development & Training (CDT) team, providing students the opportunity to connect with industry leaders, and gain invaluable insights into the region’s dynamic business landscape.

The adventure kicked off in Shanghai with exclusive visits to three leading corporates in their industries – FOSUN AM, RICHEMONT and SWIRE COCA-COLA. Students were able to gain firsthand knowledge and deeper understanding of their business practices and strategies, as well as engage with industry leaders.
Day 2 continued with more inspiring corporate visits – ALLIANZ GLOBAL INVESTORS, UBS and EY, where students connected with industry leaders and explored the latest trends shaping the global market. In the evening, we held a networking dinner at the JW Marriott Marquis Pudong Hotel, bringing our students, alumni and corporate partners together to enjoy an evening of joyful conversation and meaningful connection.

Day 3 was cultural discoveries for our students. The group immersed themselves in the city’s heritage and visited iconic landmarks – Wukang Mansion, Chenghuang Miao and Yuyuan Market. Before departing Shanghai, they enjoyed a delicious lunch of Shanghainese cuisine. The day concluded with a 4-hour high speed train ride to Beijing where more experiences awaited. Stay tuned for the next post on their exciting journey in Beijing!
