Where? Four fascinating cities
Established in Tianjin as a joint venture between the local government and an European business school, the ESEUNE Tianjin Business School mission is linking East and West in teaching and connecting top talent to prepare highly competent, internationally oriented managers able to adapt to the driving forces of business globalization, international competition, and international cooperation.
Tianjin / Beijing
The ESEUNE Tianjin Business School campus is located at the Zhongbei Technology Park, in Tianjin (35 minutes by train from Beijing city center). Students enjoy complete facilities with modern classrooms, meeting rooms,cafeteria, rest areas and green spaces to relax in between lecture sessions. In the Technology Park, students work with managers and entrepreneurs from technology companies (software, mobile, apps, etc.)
Tianjin is the fourth largest city in China, after Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou. The city of Tianjin recorded China’s highest per-capita GDP, followed by Shanghai and Beijing. Since the mid-19th century, Tianjin has been a major seaport and gateway to the nation’s capital. Tianjin’s port is the world’s top-level and China’s largest artificial deep water harbor, and the throughput capacity ranks the fifth place in the world. Tianjin harbor is the port of call to international cruises visiting Beijing. More than 300 ‘Fortune 500’ companies have set up base in Tianjin, which is a new growth pole in China and is a hub of advanced industry and financial activity. This is a great opportunity for ESEUNE students.
Shanghai / Hong Kong
Shanghai is the commercial and financial center of mainland China. Currently it is one of the most prosperous cities in the world. Its cosmopolitan character, sophisticated and affluent consumers, and highly educated and skilled labor force make it highly attractive to overseas investors. Shanghai has recorded double-digit growth for 15 consecutive years since 1992 to become the center of finance and trade in the new China.
Hong Kong is one of the World’s leading international financial centers. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is the seventh largest in the world, and Hong Kong is the world’s eleventh largest trading entity and re-export center.
