Each year in China, approximately one million undergraduate students do not meet the rigorous standards of the National Entrance Examination and are faced with a limited number of entries to state owned universities, with the result that many students are unable to enter graduate studies. By targeting this market, CIBT provides students with the opportunity to pursue a western graduate degree by taking one year of their studies in China and one year at an overseas accredited university. This arrangement will minimize their cost of living overseas, and offer them an unparalleled learning experience, which will prepare them for their graduate studies when they commence their learning abroad.
CIBT's Master Degree Program begins with 6 to 12 months of study at CIBT's locations in China in conjunction with Beijing University of Technology. The program focuses on economics, business principles, communication skills, and academic English. Students will then attend either London Metropolitan University or Bango University in the United Kingdom for completion of their Masters program in business, management and finance. Based on the successful completion of the program, graduates will receive a Masters degree from these respective Universities following 9 to 11 months of study. Annual tuition is approximately US$4,800 for the program in China, and approximately US$15,000 for studying abroad.
CIBT has been offering a joint MBA program in China for the past 12 years and is one of the largest Sino-Foreign MBA program providers in the country. In 2004 and 2007, the MBA program managed by CIBT was ranked Top 10 Most Influential Sino-Foreign MBA Programs in China by the World Executive Weekly Magazine. Most CIBT graduates have received employment in multinationals operating in China such as the ABB Group, Boeing, Microsoft, Motorola, Nortel, and Shell. These graduates, who are working for multinationals in China, earn substantially higher wages and receive better job promotion opportunities as compared to graduates working for state owned enterprises in China.
CIBT has extensive experience in academic areas of business and management at the graduate-studies level, and has expanded its academic reach by working closely with an increasing number of foreign universities. In addition to the two universities in the UK, a number of well-known universities from Australia, Canada and the USA are in discussions with CIBT to implement similar types of programs. In the future, undergraduate and graduate students at CIBT Beijing will be able to choose a university in Europe, North America or Australia to complete their higher education after studying at CIBT.
