News about Tsinghua Sem

Tsinghua MBA Core Curriculum Reform LaunchedRelease Time:2008-09-30Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management will launch a reform on the core curriculum of its MBA program. This was announced at a press conference by Professor Qian Yingyi, Dean of Tsinghua SEM on September 24, 2008In the redesigned courses, particular emphasis was put on the cultivation of students’ practical capabilities. The newly introduced “Integrated Practice Courses” that students need to attend in the fourth module, provides students with a platform where students could learn from experience in the practice of operating real programs. The “Integrated Practice Courses” have three tracks—“management consulting”, “start-up enterprises management”, and “management in the information age.”Students can choose to provide consulting service on strategic events for mature enterprises such as strategic reorganization, going public, mergers and aquization; or write business plan for start-up enterprises, or to experience how to manage a company in the information age relying on Tsinghua SEM’s powerful information management platform.The reformed MBA program also attaches great importance to students’ global experience. Students could obtain valuable international experience through participating in summer overseas internship, international exchange program and short-term overseas study trip. After they accomplish all the courses, students need to submit a case analysis report, instead of a graduation paper or graduation report as the original program requires. The alternation was made based on a research as faculty and students both believe that it will be more meaningful to do an in-depth analysis on a case than to write a paper or report as the research-oriented master program requires.
