As the President of Mannheim Business School, it is a pleasure for me to invite you to learn more about the new Tongji-Mannheim EMBA. With Tongji University, we have found the ideal partner for this endeavour. Tongji is not only a highly renowned academic institution, it is also well-known for its long-lasting strong ties with Germany.

The University of Mannheim, founded in 1907, looks back on 100 years of experience in management education and is - according to several national and international rankings, - considered to be the best German institution in this field. Mannheim Business School is the only German institution with triple accreditation from AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA. Our school is especially known for its excellence in research and teaching, its internationality and its strong network of partner business schools and companies worldwide. However, Mannheim and its region have more to offer than an outstanding business school: 50% of Germany's top 500 companies are based within 250 kilometres of Mannheim and the region itself is globally renowned for its innovations and its quality in science and production. Many global players have their German or European headquarters in the Mannheim area, such as BASF or SAP.

The Tongji-Mannheim EMBA benefits from the advanced research and teaching quality that have made both Tongji and Mannheim top academic institutions in our respective countries and includes a comprehensive, innovative and flexible curriculum.

It is specifically tailored to the needs of executives with a strong link to the Asian and European business world. Our program's truly international focus, with course modules taking place in both countries－China and Germany, helps participants to develop and refine their skills and to become outstanding, innovative and responsible leaders. In addition, our participants will benefit from valuable networking opportunities throughout the program.

We look forward to our successful partnership with Tongji University in providing superior management education to the smartest minds in international business.
