Introduction

Welcome to the Business School, Renmin University of China (RMBS)! As one of China’s premier business schools, RMBS boasts the longest history of management education in China, dating back to 1950. Our school’s strengths are grounded in the rich accumulation of intellectual assets of our parent university in the humanities and social sciences, a long-standing tradition of close integration between theory and practice, close engagement with enterprises and governments, and a large alumni base. The school is a leader with a global perspective and an insightful understanding of Chinese management.

The School is on track to become “a world-class business school as an expert in Chinese management”. We cultivate future leaders with global perspectives and a strong sense of corporate social responsibility and business ethics. To achieve this goal, we have developed highly innovative education programs, emphasizing case-based teaching, experiential learning, reflective learning, and action learning. “China root, Global reach” encapsulates our Chinese history and global future. Our research features indigenous management practices in China and adherence to the rigor of international standards.

In recent years, our school has rapidly raised its level of internationalization in its research, education programs, faculty and student composition, and school governance. It is among the first batch of Chinese business schools that have been accredited by EQUIS and AACSB and a member of the Global Network for Advanced Management (initiated by the Yale School of Management). Based on partnerships with 80+ leading business schools worldwide, we provide ample semester-long exchange opportunities overseas, double degree options, and access to programs and courses offered by leading business schools around the globe.

Our core values are an innovation in pursuit of excellence. Through knowledge creation and dissemination, we contribute to the world while achieving self-realization. We always welcome new faculty and staff with ideas and passion, and students with a dream to excel in the world of business to join us at the forefront of management education.
