Connecting the World, Shaping the Future

Zhejiang University International Business School (ZIBS) was founded on the ZJU International Campus at Haining in November 2018 to facilitate academic and corporate exchange between the West and the East.

Our newly founded business school has accelerated ZJU global initiatives and is set to become a leading global business school in the era of the new economy. ZIBS is headquartered in the Yangtze River Delta, a hub of innovation and one of the world’s most dynamic regions. Our vision is to become a leading global ecosystem with business education as one of its core pillars, with a particular focus on new technologies, new economy, and new finance. We believe that by successfully fulfilling our responsibilities as global educators, new generations of business leaders and entrepreneurs will, in turn, fulfill their social responsibilities and contribute to the wellbeing of business and society as a whole.

By cooperating with the Academy of Internet Finance and the Institute of China Studies, ZIBS currently offers an International Master of Business Administration (iMBA) program with two formats: part-time and full-time, and the Master of China Studies (MCS), designed specifically for international students, International Master of Finance (iMF), International Master of Data Science (iMDS), International Master of Fine Arts (iMFA) and one undergraduate program - Global Communication and Management (GCM). Our Executive Education Center provides programs across a wide range of topics, both for open enrollment and customized corporate needs in China and outside of China.

With a legacy of academic excellence, innovation, and entrepreneurship from China, ZIBS embraces and embodies the future. The business school prepares responsible and aspiring leaders, and the ecosystem it serves, to face the challenges of an increasingly complex global business environment. By connecting people and ideas, ZIBS shapes the future of business in the new global economic era.
