It has remained in the global top 25 for four consecutive years, setting a new record in the program’s ranking history! This breakthrough marks a historic milestone for the program and underscores Tongji SEM’s growing recognition as a leader in international management education.

Tongji SEM performed exceptionally well in multiple key indicators. It retained its 1st place globally in the Value for Money Rank, making it "a benchmark for high-value management education". For three years in a row, 100% of graduates secured jobs within three months after graduation, reflecting both efficiency and quality of employment, and strong recognition from employers. Meanwhile, the program ranked 13thglobally in Careers Service Rank: SEM’s Career Development Center supports students through initiatives such as “Company Visit Sessions” and “Personalized Career Coaching”, effectively bridging campus and workplace. It also secured the 14th position globally in Career Progress Rank, reflecting graduates’ notable progress in aspects such as job promotions, company scale, and career advancement.

The leap in this year’s ranking stems from Tongji SEM’s commitment to internationalization, practical learning, and ESG integration. The program is fully taught in English with mixed Chinese and international student cohorts. SEM has partnerships with over 100 top business schools in 30+ countries, offering diverse exchange programs (dual-degree, semester exchanges, summer schools) with 300+ annual overseas slots. In 2024, it expanded globally via its first overseas campus—the Tongji SEM German-Sino Center in Berlin—enhancing its global education ecosystem and students’ global perspective.

Tongji SEM also emphasizes integrating academic knowledge and practice. In April 2025, it launched the first Innovative Practice & Action Learning (IPAL) project, collaborating with JD Digits Industrial, YTO Express, and Transsion Holdings. Guided by academic and industry mentors, students used course tools (e.g., Global Supply Chain Management) on real strategic projects. Over three months, mixed student teams researched globalization, digital transformation, ESG, producing deliverables like market entry proposals.

This leap in ranking is the result of Tongji SEM’s continuous commitment to a student-centered and quality-driven education philosophy. It also validates the school’s mission of cultivating management talents who are well-versed in Chinese business practices and prepared for global leadership. Tongji SEM holds multiple prestigious accreditations, including AACSB, EQUIS, and CAMEA. Looking ahead, Tongji SEM will continue to uphold its mission of “Creating New Management Knowledge, Nurturing Industry Elites, and Promoting Sustainable Development,” contributing Chinese wisdom and Tongji’s strength to the global management education.
