Benefits from studying an MBA in China stretches beyond graduation. You’ll build a network that’s concentrated in China, but that also stretches across the Asian continent.
At Guanghua, around 50% of students stay on in China to work, while around 70-to-80% are based in the Asia-Pacific region at large. In all, Guanghua’s alumni network has over 30,000 people worldwide.
In Asia, building personal connections is an important part of doing business, and a strong, widespread network could prove to be invaluable to this.
Through the alumni mentor program students have exclusive access to an extensive and influential alumni network in China, that allows them to gain professional advice as well as industry knowledge and contacts to advance their careers in both China and globally.
PKU MBA alum Henry Sher was blown away by the tight knit network of Guanghua alumni. “Essentially, this is the network and relationship that every MBA candidate seeks to build during his or her MBA journey, and Guanghua not only provides just a platform to connect, but also helps to establish a life-long friendship with all its MBA members.”
5. Access to employers
The unparalleled growth rate of China’s economy makes it a particularly attractive place to go and work.
Studying an MBA in China can provide the first few important introductions to employers. The career center at PKU Guanghua offers targeted career help to all MBA students, from career assessment and exploration in helping students find the right employers, to help them develop professional skills and competencies like interviewing, self-marketing, and negotiation.
They also have opportunities to go on company visits to major employers such as Boston Consulting Group.
As a Guanghua student, you really have your pick of the top industries and companies. In the MBA Class of 2020, finance was the most popular industry, attracting 32% of graduates, heading to global banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Technology was the second most popular—regional companies like Baidu and Tencent, as well as big tech firms like Google—drawing in 13.5%, closely followed by consumer goods and retail (10.4%).
Given the job opportunities it opens up, and the chance to establish yourself in a fast-growing economy, studying an MBA in China can really have long term benefits.
