My time at PHBS was so much more than a degree; it was the experience of studying in the historic halls of Oxford one year and being immersed in the vibrant energy of Shenzhen the next. This incredible journey provided me with more than a world-class education; it gave me the best of both worlds which was a unique advantage no other university could offer. That, in itself, was my greatest education.
Beyond the unique structure of the academic programme, what truly enriched my experience were the people. The world-class faculty were not only experts in their fields but also incredibly supportive, always willing to guide me both academically and professionally. Furthermore, the opportunity to build a network of brilliant and diverse friends from every corner of the globe turned my cohorts into a lifelong global family. This combination of academic excellence and profound cultural exchange is what makes PHBS truly special.
I’m endlessly grateful for my experience at PHBS. If you’re seeking a postgraduate education rich in global perspective, PHBS would be the one just for you.
Studying for my Master of Management at Peking University HSBC Business School (PHBS) has been a truly remarkable experience. What made it unique for me was the chance to be fully immersed in an English-speaking academic environment, while at the same time living in China and experiencing its culture first-hand. This combination gave me the best of both worlds—global exposure and local insight.
One of the aspects I valued most was connecting with classmates from diverse countries and cultures. It broadened my perspective and sharpened my ability to collaborate effectively across different backgrounds. Through research, case studies, and different projects, I learned to structure my thinking more clearly and strengthen my analytical and problem-solving skills.
Beyond the classroom, I was active in the International Student Union, where I helped organize multiple activities and company visits that enriched life at PHBS for international students. These experiences gave me the opportunity to contribute to the student community, create meaningful events, and engage directly with innovative businesses in Shenzhen.
The professors at PHBS were not only outstanding in their fields but also approachable and generous in sharing their knowledge. Their guidance has been invaluable to my personal and academic growth.
My time at PHBS has shaped me both personally and academically, giving me lasting friendships, stronger skills, and unforgettable memories.
My two years at PHBS were a period of incredible cultural and academic growth. The Master of Management program strengthened my competitiveness in many aspects and broadened my understanding of management.

Beyond the classroom, living in Shenzhen was incredible; it offered a fantastic environment to live in and also provided a chance to go on adventures across China with my friends, embracing the Chinese culture.
My time at PHBS was truly the highlight of my life, it was nothing short of transformative. It was a rewarding journey, filled with so much fun that I will always cherish!
