Zhejiang University International Business School (ZIBS)

Zhejiang University is one of the top universities in China and is based in the beautiful city of Hangzhou. Hangzhou is known for its picturesque West Lake and its lush subtropical scenery. It is the perfect place to study and explore.

The University is organized across seven faculties and 39 schools. It is home to 4,383 full-time faculty members, including 30 members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and 31 members of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. ZJU has 63,136 full-time students, over 53% of whom are postgraduate students.

Based in China and with a global focus, ZIBS aims to build a science & technology-focused premier global business school from China, by upholding the 5"i" philosophy of being “international, interdisciplinary, innovative, inclusive and integrative”, with continued emphases on 3 strategic pillars - Global ZIBS, Digital ZIBS, and the ZIBS Ecosystem.

ZIBS faculty team jointly serves the school with its academic accomplishment and expertise, initiates innovation in teaching and scientific research, and is committed to providing excellent business education for students.

It has been 75 years since Dr. Joseph Needham from the University of Cambridge first set foot on the campus of Zhejiang University. Marveling at the resemblance between Zhejiang University and the University of Cambridge, both in their academic rigor and educational philosophies, he declared Zhejiang University to be the "Oriental Cambridge".

Nurturing this sentiment, Zhejiang University International Business School (ZIBS) was founded on the ZJU International Campus at Haining in November 2018 to facilitate the academic and corporate exchange between the West and the East. Our ambition is to be the premier international business school from China in the new global economic era. We believe that by successfully fulfilling our responsibilities as global educators, new generations of business leaders and entrepreneurs will in turn fulfill their social responsibilities and contribute to the wellbeing of business and society as a whole. By leveraging the legacy of ZJU and our Chinese essence, we advance the knowledge and practice of responsible global business.

ZIBS was launched to accelerate Zhejiang University's global initiatives under China's new global economic era. We have chosen to make our home in the heart of the Yangtze River Delta, an area known for its entrepreneurial spirit and as the birthplace of Chinese Fintech. We are confident in the potential of technology to benefit underserved individuals and communities and achieve greater financial inclusion and are proud to be at the center of a leading global Fintech center.

ZIBS is seizing the momentum by offering global programs featuring a diverse range of lectures, seminars and international exposure. Our program portfolio includes both degree and non-degree programs, serving the learning needs of both individuals and organizations.
