In addition, Professor Triantis and his delegation visited the school's teaching facilities, including the data center, the future media laboratory, and the auditorium hall. Professor Park briefed the delegation on the construction, management, and utilization of the relevant facilities.
Located in Shenzhen, PHBS was founded in 2004 with the vision to advance Peking University's commitment to global economics, finance, and management research, and develop as a center of international excellence in business education. In August 2018, the school successfully passed the AACSB accreditation for a period of five years. Though a young institution, PHBS has set its sights on global recognition and is now among only a selective few of the best business schools worldwide to hold the “Triple Crown” —EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA, granted by the world’s three most influential business school accreditation organizations.
