I realize this may sound obvious, but the important thing to remember is that if that's not your goal, this school is not as attractive of an option. You'll be able to build a very strong network with Chinese connections, as well as with internationals, but most of those not from China will be looking to get into the Chinese market.

I would be very interested myself, as I am hoping to be in China post-MBA, but I'm tied to a job in the states until I can get through b-school.

I have a high amount of interest in china, but the Hsbc school of business hasnt showed any response. i want to settle down in china, but am afraid about going into a school which has low rep in china. Do you knw about the placements of Peking HSBC school of business.

Thanks!

Sorry for the initial confusion; I didn't realize that HSBC is distinct from Peking University's Guanghua School of Management.

I'm not sure what HSBC's rep is in China, or about placement, but you may find this link helpful.

I can't find HSBC on this ranking, which looks to be a fairly comprehensive list of Chinese b-schools. If I were you, I would consider other schools besides HSBC.

You certainly shouldn't despair; there are plenty of students who go straight from an undergrad to an MBA program, though it may not be the most travelled route.

I don't know Chinese MBA programs well enough to tell you which ones will be most welcoming to someone in your situation, and to really find an adequate answer to that question it would take a bit of research.

Your best bet is to identify some schools that you are interested in going to, and for which your academic qualifications are suited, and to inquire with their admissions departments.

I would also guess that involvement in extracurriculars, strong essays, and good recommendations will be essential for you.

Have you considered trying to find a job in China, and then applying after a couple of years?

Proficiency in Mandarin will be very useful there, and a few years of work can get you started towards that end, and show schools that you have long-term goals in China.

Good luck!

Yeah i have found MIM which is good, but if you ask me i really prefer being in Asia than UK or US.
And the job thing is something i have as back up. got an internship in China sometime back, couldnt go due to exams, but will be trying for jobs there.

To be honest, i feel doing MBA would help the work permit issue (i got an internshio in Singapore which got rejected due to the fact that Singapore ministry did not update their database for years)
Hence looking for MBAs first!

The HSBC school of business is not a good option for someone who is looking for international standard of education especially it's masters of Finance program. The school is not ready to host an international student body and the life of an international student is filled with academic and non-academic struggles on a daily basis. Is someone is seeking job prospects in China, the on the ground reality is very different. The language is a huge barrier. If you are not highly proficient in the language, the prospects of working (paid) are almost non-existent. In practice, there is not much that China can offer to a non-Chinese because systems are still developing. If you are looking for something highly developed and functioning this is not the place to be. However if you are excited by the prospect of helping form a new university and its systems and are willing to take the risks involved, this might be the place to be
