THE LOCAL CONFERENCE HOST
Peking University HSBC Business School (PHBS) was founded in 2004 with the intent of advancing PKU’s involvement in global economics, finance and management research and establishing a first-tier business education program in southern mainland China. PHBS now offers course instructions in the English language in PhD programs, Full-Time Master’s programs, and Dual-Master’s programs with the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the National University of Singapore. The Chinese language is used in the course instructions of MBA, Executive MBA program, and executive development programs. To provide a comprehensive, transnational educational experience, and to expand international exchange and research opportunities, PHBS began admitting international students into its full-time English MBA program in 2016. PHBS has passed EFMD EPAS Accreditation, and is on track to soon complete the AACSB accreditation process.
