Fudan University Unveils Global MBA to Bridge East and West Business Leadership
Fudan University's School of Management (FDSM) launched its Global MBA Program at a high-profile event on March 21. Titled Enlightening for Truth, Leading Global Change, the ceremony marked a new phase in the school's push to develop international business leaders with deep insights into Chinese markets and global governance. The program's debut follows FDSM's strongest-ever performance in the Financial Times rankings, with four of its courses now in the world's top 25.
The two-year, part-time program is taught entirely in English and targets international students. It builds on five core pillars: China & World, Technology & Management, Culture & Business, Digital Intelligence & On-site Experience, and Academy & Industry. Since its start, the course has attracted over 1,200 students from 32 countries, with the largest numbers arriving from Germany, France, the US, Canada, India, and Southeast Asia.
At the launch, Dean Xiongwen Lu delivered a keynote on China's evolving role in business education. He stressed the need for Chinese institutions to move beyond absorbing knowledge to constructing it—and from learning through experience to exporting entire systems. The event also drew Fudan and FDSM leaders, including Kui Su, Ming Zheng, and Cheng Zhang, alongside guests from industry and academia. FDSM's reputation rests on decades of international collaboration. The school holds partnerships with 116 universities and research centres worldwide. It earned EQUIS accreditation in 2009 and AACSB in 2010, maintaining both through repeated re-accreditation. The latest Financial Times rankings further cement its standing, with the Global MBA staying in the top 30 and four EMBA programs breaking into the top 25.
The Fudan Global MBA Program now offers a structured path for professionals seeking expertise in Chinese business practices and global strategy. With its accredited curriculum, industry ties, and rising rankings, the initiative aims to bridge Eastern and Western management approaches. Enrolment figures and international partnerships suggest growing demand for its cross-cultural focus.
