PHBS currently offers a doctoral program, specialized master’s programs, an MBA program, an executive MBA program, and numerous executive development programs. With internationalization as its goal, PHBS has been accredited by AACSB, AMBA, and EFMD, and has taken a bold step by opening a new campus in Oxfordshire, England.

As the most internationalized China-national business school, PHBS offers about 130 graduate-level business courses per year, taught in English. 80 full-time international and Chinese faculty have earned their PhDs from top institutions. All of your classmates, 95% of whom are Chinese nationals, are fluent in English and have graduated from the top universities in China. As such, students can take advantage of our highly internationalized campus.

Global Recognition

The first endorsement that PHBS received was from the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) in 2011 when the organization conferred EPAS accreditation on the PHBS Master of Economics program. PHBS continues to set its sights on worldwide recognition, now holding AACSB and AMBA accreditations.

Unique China Focus

Our programs also include a Chinese focus in the context of a global perspective.
