The International MBA (IMBA) Program was launched in 2000 as Guanghua expanded internationally and partnered with prestigious business schools - the ESSEC Business School, which has over a century of history. Both universities have world class faculties with extensive teaching, research and consulting experience.
With the opening up of China after the WTO, individuals are beginning to value a bilingual skillset in becoming a global manager. We bring you one step further by offering you the best education in both the top universities in France and China, immersing you in the culture, sharpening your language skills and helping you establish high profile networks in both countries.

"The ESSEC-GSM MBA is a tailor made program for international profiles with great aspirations in China. At ESSEC, I knew I was joining an institution defined by the highest standards. However, what surprised me even more was the wide range of job prospects offered to me. After an internship at L'Oreal in Marketing, I worked for BNP-Paribas in real estate before creating my own company with some classmates in Morocco.
As an overseas Chinese, my dream has always been to return to China, and GSM could not prepare me better for this transition. At GSM, I had the opportunity to interact with the best teachers and finest students of the country. Inside and outside classes, my thoughts and beliefs were constantly challenged with new concepts and new business approaches.
Having worked for a leading French group in China for one year now, I can fully realize how complementary the combination of these two top institutions is. For me, ESSEC-GSM MBA is undoubtedly the best preparation for executives who wish to take on great responsibilities for an international corporation in China."
