Fudan University School of Management

Fudan University School of Management

Founded in 1905, Fudan University was the first institution of higher learning in China to set up a department of business education. The School of Management (FDSM) has grown into one of the top- class educational institutions in China. The School has been awarded the First Prize for R&D Progress and the First Prize for Excellent Education Accomplishments, both on national levels. The school has also attained both AACSB and EQUIS accreditations. Deeply rooted in the rich soil of Fudan's century-long history of humanities and arts, the Fudan IMBA Program has embodied the ideals and missions of her founders and is heading towards a brighter future. Now gaining momentum from Shanghai's economic and financial development with globalization in full swing, this Program, supported by the extraordinary faculty and professional administration team, strives to meet the expectations from enterprises home and abroad as well as all parts of the society. The development of Fudan IMBA Program over the past fifteen years is the fruit from gathering and digesting the experiences and successes of top business educational institutions from all over the world. This is also part of an innovative path aimed at becoming a top-tier program in Asia with a worldwide prominence that cultivates management elites and business leaders with both global competitiveness and local insights. Today's rapidly developing economy is witnessing an increasing shift of weight towards the Asia-Pacific Region. Here, China is playing a significant role as the largest and most globalized player; Shanghai is a major engine powering the growth of its economy. This has placed an urgent need for highly qualified business leaders. Following an old Chinese saying that one has to possess the proper tool for the accomplishment of a task, business leaders in China need to update their management ideas, knowledge and skills to address challenges, seize opportunities and realize their dreams. Fudan is traditional but looking ahead, conservative but open-minded, and located in China but taking a global perspective. Young talents with vision, passion, and potential, or others who are full of ideas, ready to take responsibilities and tackle problems, are all welcome to gather in Shanghai and join us at Fudan. Here you can enjoy the culture and spirit of being "rich with knowledge, having a clear purpose, learning activities and constant improvement through self-reflection". You can expect to receive a complete business education on a global standard that will help you unfold a promising future in your personal development. We look forward to meeting you in Fudan!
