Its campus, located in the capital of China, provides the perfect background for such a dynamic program, centering on Chinese businesses and their relationships with foreign countries.

 International School of Business offers students a most pertinent and unique combination of subjects, addressing contemporary Chinese business concerns, Chinese culture, Asian values and advanced Western and American business practice and management. Students are encouraged to develop themselves into responsible, ethical business leaders who solve contentious issues with a strong practical and theoretical grounding and cultural sensitivity. All class instruction and discussions of contemporary business issues are done in English, drawing on the vast knowledge and experience of our international faculty. In addition, an interactive and applied teaching model is followed in order to give students valuable practical experience in the real life.
