2. Curriculum
Through systematic world-standard MBA education, the PKU-Vlerick MBA programme aims to nurture a group of executives with a mastery of the theories and practices of international business and build a group of leaders with knowledge, vision, and entrepreneurship. The curriculum focuses on developing students’ core management skills, applying advanced management theory in Chinese practices, and a more comprehensive range of skills related to different areas. Internationally used MBA textbooks are employed, and English is set as the teaching language, except for the courses holding Chinese cases.
The required courses aim to help students develop a comprehensive understanding of business knowledge in strategic management, marketing, finance, accounting, human resources management, economics, statistics, operation management, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
Building upon the required courses, the newly added “Business Methodologies” module aims to equip students with advanced data-driven analytical skills, in-depth understanding of data and technology in business, and hands-on practices with real-world data to solve business problems. As data-driven analytics becomes a vital part of every business, this module offers students an analytical mindset and a set of hard-skills to go out into this increasingly digitized world.
Our professors come from NSD, Vlerick, as well as top business schools around the world, such as Haas School of Business at University of California Berkeley, INSEAD, ESSEC.
