Beijing International MBA at Peking University or (BiMBA) (simplified Chinese: 北大国际; traditional Chinese: 北大國際; pinyin: Běidà Guójì) is both an internationally and nationally top-ranked graduate business school of Peking University in Beijing, China. It was founded in 1998 by Justin Yifu Lin as a collaboration between Peking University and a consortium of Jesuit universities, led by Fordham University in the United States.Vlerick Business School in Belgium joined BiMBA in 2008 and is currently the degree-granting university. BiMBA is operated by the National School of Development (NSD), formerly known as China Center for Economic Research at Peking University. The school offers a range of MBA programs from full-time, to part-time, and executive MBA programs. Current Dean of BiMBA Mr. Yang Zhuang said in an article with the Chinese news website money.163.com that the value of BiMBA's education lies in its "internationalization". BiMBA has a very traditional Chinese atmosphere in terms of its building structures, however 30-40% of enrolled students in its full-time MBA program comes from abroad, and more than 80% has academic backgrounds from established foreign institutions. The diverse atmosphere coupled with a focus on smaller classes stimulates the students to reflect with one another and actively participate in class.
BiMBA's full-time MBA program is consistently ranked 2nd by Forbes magazine for China's Best business school, and its part-time program is ranked second, only behind Peking University's older Guanghua School of Management. BiMBA was ranked 11th by QS Global 200 Business Schools 2012 in the Asia & Australia Region.Businessweek has called BiMBA program "An MBA with a heart".
