Message from the Director of China Centre

"Hello Everyone,

It seems every month is so fruitful in Spring. Last weekend, I was so delighted to hear that MBS student delegates got the 3rd prize award at the China MBA healthcare industry business innovation competition held at China European Business School. The competition is very fierce and participants for the final are all from the top Chinese business schools including PKU, Tsinghua, Zhejiang University and CEIBS. Many congratulations-Yunfei Zhang, Shirley Lai, Regina Yu, David Xu!!

Another piece of great news is MBS China centre has development a new online internal communication platform: http://admin.mbs.ac.cn/bbs for our Global MBA students. Different intakes students now can share their learning tips, experiences, professional development, interesting stories etc. This application is especially designed for China centre students, which allows our students to manage their own threads and can post notice or articles. With known web component embedded, user can upload rich content, like emotional icon and large pictures. The most important function of this application however is that students can easily locate any categories that they want to explore, such as students’ intakes, alumni clubs, students events etc.

How to log in China centre BBS? Key your university central username (mzy…) as user name and your student number is the password. Hope you enjoy this new communicational platform. If you have any good suggestions, please feel free to let our IT talent Mr. Tony Huang know!

Have a lovely Easter everyone! ”
