History

The school was established in 2004 as part of a broader expansion by Peking University alongside partnerships involving The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, HSBC Holdings plc, and local authorities in Shenzhen. Early ties included exchanges with Columbia Business School, INSEAD, MIT Sloan School of Management, Chicago Booth School of Business, and University of Cambridge Judge Business School. Milestones featured collaborations with the Shenzhen Municipal Government, connections to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and programs influenced by policies from the Ministry of Education (People's Republic of China). Over time the school hosted conferences with delegations from World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Asian Development Bank, World Economic Forum, and visiting scholars from University of Oxford, Yale School of Management, Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, and National University of Singapore Business School.

The campus is situated in Futian District, Shenzhen near landmarks such as Shenzhen Civic Center and the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center. Facilities include lecture halls comparable to those at Tsinghua University, research labs akin to Peking University's centers, executive education rooms used by visiting professors from University of Pennsylvania, Duke University Fuqua School of Business, and University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Student amenities align with standards set by institutions like Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Chinese University of Hong Kong, and City University of Hong Kong, while libraries coordinate interlibrary loans with Library of Congress-style networks and databases such as JSTOR, Scopus, and Web of Science.

The school offers MBA, EMBA, Master of Finance, Master of Accounting, and PhD programs, with curricula referencing case studies from Harvard Business School Publishing, McKinsey & Company reports, and frameworks used by Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, and Deloitte. Course partnerships and faculty exchanges involve London School of Economics, HEC Paris, IE Business School, ESADE Business School, and Rotman School of Management. Joint degree options echo models from Peking University HSBC Business School's peers such as HKUST Business School and CUHK Business School, and internships place students at firms like Alibaba Group, Tencent, Baidu, JD.com, Huawei, Microsoft, Apple Inc., Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, and KPMG.

Research centers focus on finance, entrepreneurship, corporate governance, and sustainability, paralleling centers at Peking University Guanghua School of Management, Tsinghua School of Economics and Management, and Renmin University of China School of Business. The school convenes seminars with experts from National Bureau of Economic Research, CEPR, CFA Institute, ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office, and think tanks like Brookings Institution. Research outputs engage topics relevant to World Trade Organization discussions, World Health Organization policy dialogues, and urban studies tied to Shenzhen Special Economic Zone development, attracting visiting fellows from Princeton University, Yale University, University of Chicago, Australian National University, University of Hong Kong, and Zhejiang University.

Admissions criteria emphasize academic records, professional experience, and standardized tests such as GMAT and language exams like TOEFL and IELTS, with international applicants from regions including North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Student life features clubs and activities modeled after student organizations at Columbia University, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Stanford University, and University of California, Berkeley, and hosts speaker series with leaders from UNESCO, UNDP, ASEAN, European Commission, Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and China Development Bank.
