Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
 |
Hello and welcome to the MBS China Centre quarterly newsletter!
While the year 2014 is coming to an end, the recruitment for 2015 January MBA intake will soon close. We are proud to say that our team has done a fantastic job and has achieved so much this year. In November, MBS China Centre was awarded “Most Influential MBA Brand in China” by China Sina Education. We welcomed the first Global EMBA cohort, hosted a 9-day residential workshop and received fantastic feedbacks; We signed TMP with Unilever North Asia. We are also pleased to see the 2014 January & July MBA students are doing so well in their study.
While saying goodbye to 2014, we are truly looking forward to 2015 and feel certain that the new year will only be more exciting with challenges and great opportunities waiting for us. We appreciate your continuous support and look forward to big celebrations of MBS’ 50th anniversary in China and worldwide.
Together with all MBS China Centre staff, I would like to take this opportunity, to wish you and your family a fantastic Christmas holiday and Happy New Year!
