A learning value system that relies on a training method consisting of a core supported by five pillars has been created with the development of leadership skills as the core while building a curriculum that focuses on both management practices and professional competencies, making the program a development platform for lifelong learning.

Professor Feng Tianjun, the Director of the MBA program at Fudan University, said that five key qualities are required if one is to become a future-oriented management leader: first, mastery of advanced management theories, tools and methods, and an understanding of the underlying logic of management; second, ability to discover, analyze and solve practical management problems in today's global complex business environment as well as in a cross-cultural context; third, leadership skills amid organizational change, and the ability to foresee the future; fourth, a mindset of entrepreneurship, innovation and practical pioneering; and fifth, awareness of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) in combination with a humanistic approach.

Career development services to help students grow

In this FT ranking, Fudan MBA program leads in Asia in three sub-indicators related to career growth, ranking No. 1 in Asia in career services, No. 1 in China in career goal achievement rate, and No. 6 worldwide in career development.

Student career development guidance and services have always been a core element of every Fudan MBA program. As early as in 1999, Fudan School of Management took the lead in establishing the first career development office (CDO) in a university business school in Chinese mainland. The center provides full-time MBA students with comprehensive career development guidance and services through resource integration and full-scale involvement, allowing students to have a clearer idea of their career development, and significantly improve their competitiveness in the workplace.

Over the past twenty years, CDO has worked with more than 2,500 business partners, while over 300 mentors and coaches from alumni and businesses have helped the University's MBA students maximize the value of their employment and enhance their career through recruitment lectures, enterprise tours and high-end forums.
