“Students for this two-year part-time BI-Fudan Joint MBA program are admitted twice a year, with 60 recruited each time. More than 800 alumni have so far graduated since the Master of Change Management Program started in 1996. Students admitted to this program should be at middle-level management positions in an international company or joint venture and are supposed to have a bachelor’s degree with at least five years work experience or a college diploma with 10 years work experience. In addition, students should be proficient in both written and oral English as all the lectures----15 four-day course modules taught about every 5 weeks, are delivered in English. Strictly written-tested and interviewed, candidates are assessed on their: “Willingness to share, communicate, to think independently and deeply and their ability to work as a team,” said Professor Xu Huizhong, director of BI-Fudan MBA Program.
The BI-Fudan joint program is one of the hottest among a great number of similar joint programs established by universities all over China. As for the competitiveness of this program: “Fudan University has enough confidence to host an excellent program like this and students wishing to attend are attracted by what is embodied in Fudan University because they can also share the valuable resources in Fudan University such as mini-courses, lectures, exchange opportunities, etc.” said Xu.
Xu reiterated the importance of equality in terms of both cooperation and exchange, “The cooperation between BI and Fudan University is on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. We co-work on the curriculum design and teaching with the full dedication of both our best faculty resources. There are frequent exchanges of staff and students between our two schools.”
“It’s not only Chinese students being taught here in Fudan by professors from Europe, we also bring Norwegian students here to be taught by Fudan professors,” said Henning Kristoffersen, director of MBA Studies, China Programs, BI Norwegian School of Management.
The program is believed to have developed the students in a number of ways. “This program empowers you and has you ready for any better opportunities,” said an alumnus.
