【What Kind of Leaders Should We Cultivate in a Rapidly Changing World?】July 22, 2026

Artificial intelligence, sustainability, geopolitics, and global industries are reshaping our world at an unprecedented pace, redefining the qualities future leaders need.

Under the theme "Disruption as a Catalyst for the Common Good," the 2026 IAJBS World Forum brought together Jesuit business schools from around the world to explore how business education can respond to rapid change by cultivating leaders with professional excellence, ethical judgment, and a commitment to the Common Good.

Business education goes beyond knowledge and skills. It is about recognizing each student's unique potential, accompanying them as they discover their own path, and empowering them to use their talents to make a meaningful impact.

Our mission is not only to prepare globally competitive business professionals, but also to cultivate reflective, compassionate, and socially responsible leaders who create value through their expertise and contribute to a better world.

【imMBA's International Learning Environment Starts with a Four-Palme Business School】June 24, 2026

According to the 2026 Eduniversal Business Schools Ranking, Fu Jen Catholic University College of Management has been awarded 4 Palmes of Excellence, making it one of the few business schools in Taiwan to receive this level of international recognition.

What do the Palmes represent?

5 Palmes: Major Universal Business Schools

4 Palmes: Top Business Schools with Significant International Influence

【What Would You Do with Two Weeks for Self-Directed Learning?】June 16, 2026

At Fu Jen, this is the idea behind the University's 16+2 Flexible Self-Directed Learning Weeks.

With 16 weeks of classroom learning and 2 weeks set aside for self-directed learning, students are encouraged to step beyond the classroom and explore new possibilities—whether through industry visits, professional development, personal projects, or reflecting on future goals.

No one will always plan your next step for you. Learning how to explore and grow independently is an important part of university life.

As this year's Self-Directed Learning Weeks coincide with the Dragon Boat Festival, we wish everyone a joyful holiday and meaningful time with family and friends.

Happy Dragon Boat Festival!

【As You Move Forward, Take a Piece of Fu Jen With You.】June 9, 2026

The theme of Fu Jen Catholic University's 2026 Commencement Ceremony, ''Truth, Goodness, Beauty, and Holiness: Embarking on Excellence'' marks the beginning of a new chapter for this year's graduates.

 

This year, master's graduates from the College of Management received a special graduation bear. More than a gift, it carries a simple wish: that someday, when they see it again, they will remember their time at International Management MBA (imMBA)—the classmates who stayed up late working on projects, the professors who guided them, and the memories made along the way.

 

As our graduates embark on their next journey with confidence, may this little bear remain a warm keepsake of their time at imMBA. #FJCU_imMBA #Dual_Master_Degree

 

【Outdoor English Corner｜Internationalization at Home】June 3, 2026

Through an initiative by the College of Management EMI Center, students from Taiwan, India, Vietnam, Poland, Guatemala, and other cultural backgrounds gathered in Yilan for a two-day Outdoor English Corner experience. Among the participants were many students from the International Management MBA (imMBA) program.

Over the two-day trip, students took part in river tubing, ATV rides, archery, BBQs, and conversations under the stars, naturally bringing everyone closer together. Students shared stories about their hometowns, cultures, religions, festivals, and daily life.

In this small global village, countries many students had never visited became more familiar through personal stories and firsthand experiences. English was the bridge for communication, while laughter became a language everyone shared.

 

At the end of the trip, one participant summed it up perfectly: ''I like the warm vibe.''

Perhaps this is what internationalization at home feels like.  #FJCU_imMBA #Dual_Master_Degree

 

 

【Conversations across cultures broaden the way we see the world.】May 28, 2026

At this English Corner event, organized by the College of Management EMI Center, Indian imMBA student Jestin George Vazhayil shared his experiences living and traveling across India. From Kerala in South India to Mysore, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh, students were introduced to perspectives on India beyond textbooks and media impressions.

Through Jestin's firsthand stories and experiences across different regions, students gained a more authentic understanding of India’s cultural diversity and local realities.

 

For many students, a country once seen as distant or unfamiliar became more understandable through this exchange. This is also one of the values imMBA hopes to bring beyond an all-English environment—through interaction with people from different cultural backgrounds, students naturally develop a broader understanding of the world. #FJCU_imMBA #Dual_Master_Degree

 

【Same Italy. Different people. A richer journey.】May 21, 2026

Students on the College of Management's 2026 International Field Trip to Italy came from different academic backgrounds, ages, and life experiences—and those differences shaped the journey along the way.

At the same company visit, some focused on branding and markets, while others paid attention to management, technology, culture, data, or fashion. These unique perspectives brought discussions and reflections far beyond the original itinerary.

From Northern to Southern Italy, spending time together also brought students from different departments closer. Along the journey, they looked after one another when feeling unwell and encouraged each other through the packed schedule. Departments were no longer barriers, and age no longer created distance.

 

Looking back, what made this journey memorable was not only Italy itself, but also the people who traveled together. Different viewpoints gave the same places and companies entirely new layers of meaning. #FJCU_imMBA #Dual_Master_Degree

 

【A good learning environment helps everyone grow together.】May 12, 2026

Recently, Dr. Tu Yi-Ning, Chair of the International Management MBA (imMBA), met with both first-year and graduating students. Although they are at different stages of study, both groups shared a strong sense of community and learning atmosphere within the program.

 

Studying in an all-English environment takes time to adapt to—from different cultural backgrounds and accents to the fast pace of classroom discussions. Yet after just one semester, first-year students were already comfortable with each other's accents and sense of humor. Among the graduating students, it was also easy to see the growth built over nearly two years through the maturity of their perspectives and discussions.

 

A strong learning atmosphere naturally pushes everyone forward. As classmates actively participate in discussions and group work, the connections between them continue to grow both inside and outside the classroom.

 

Through these gatherings, one thing became especially clear: imMBA students are not only hardworking, but also thoughtful and full of ideas.

【What are you thinking about in your junior year?】May 5, 2026

Recently, Dr. Tu Yi-Ning, Chair of the International Management MBA (imMBA), was interviewed by Fu Jen Voice during a recruitment event, where she spoke about the uncertainty many students face when planning their future. She noted that the junior year is often a critical turning point, and encouraged students to explore more options and gradually clarify their direction.

 

She also highlighted that the university offers a range of international learning opportunities, and that starting early helps students better compare their options before graduation.

 

At the event, key features of the imMBA program were introduced, including an all-English learning environment, courses with international students, practice-oriented learning, and dual-degree programs with overseas universities.

One student shared that she was initially concerned about the cost of studying abroad, but later learned that through a partner arrangement, students may only need to pay Fu Jen's tuition and fees—making the opportunity more accessible than she had expected and prompting her to rethink her options.

As the economic and business center of France, Paris brings together financial institutions, multinational corporations, and global brands—a key hub for decision-making and innovation in Europe.

In this context, KEDGE's Paris campus focuses on Business Transformation for Sustainability, exploring how sustainability is integrated into strategy, operations, and decision-making.

While the previous campuses emphasize industry and market dynamics, Paris shifts to the decision-making level, offering insight into how organizations adapt and create long-term value.

From Marseille's global flows to Bordeaux's industry depth, and now Paris's focus on strategy and transformation—the three campuses together form a layered view of business in practice.

【KEDGE Campus Series 2｜Bordeaux】April 22, 2026

In contrast to Marseille's focus on ports and trade, Bordeaux presents a different industrial landscape. As one of France's key economic regions, it is renowned for its wine industry and has developed strengths in brand management, product development, and data-driven business applications.

Reflecting this environment, KEDGE's Bordeaux campus offers modules including Brand and Product Management, Financial Markets, International Business, and Data Analytics for Business—covering brand and product strategy, international business, and data analytics to support industrial transformation and business development.

Next stop: Paris—at the heart of finance, business, and key industries.

【KEDGE Campus Series 1｜Marseille】April 14, 2026

Marseille, the largest port in France, is a key Mediterranean trade hub connecting Europe, Africa, and global markets. From a traditional cargo port, it has developed into a diverse international city shaped by logistics, cruise tourism, and cultural industries.

Reflecting this environment, KEDGE's Marseille campus offers modules such as Digital Marketing & Business Strategy, Corporate Finance, International Business, and International Trade & Maritime Logistics—covering strategy, finance, and global trade.

Set against Marseille's industrial background, these modules help students better understand how business operates in practice.

Next stop: Bordeaux—shifting from a port city to one defined by industry and brand.

Jointly organized by the MS Program in Technology Management and MBA Program in International Management (imMBA), this 13-day international field trip spans Northern to Southern Italy, from Milan to Sorrento and Capri—connecting cities, industries, and cultural contexts.

Before departure, a dedicated session led by Dr. Giorgia Sfriso, a native Italian scholar, provided insights into Italy’s cultural landscape, urban development, and the dynamics of local industries and family businesses.

The itinerary features visits to key industry players, including a century-old olive oil producer, traditional glass manufacturing, a luxury automotive brand, and one of the world’s oldest universities.

An immersive journey into management, industry, and culture is about to unfold.

【Rethinking Impact at the BGS Summit in Barcelona】March 27, 2026

What happens when "hard skills" meet a global setting?

Christine Hsu, currently pursuing a dual master's degree at KEDGE Business School in France, was selected as a BGS (Beta Gamma Sigma) member to attend the Global Leadership Summit in Barcelona.

BGS is an invitation-only honor society for top students from AACSB-accredited business schools. Being selected is, in itself, a distinction.

During discussions with student leaders from around the world, she realized that the real difference is not how much you know, but whether you can clearly express your ideas, be understood, and create impact—especially under time pressure.

''Leadership is not about position, but about how precisely you communicate your ideas and influence others.''

The experience also reshaped her understanding of leadership: "A true leader pursues excellence while never forgetting to give back and support others.''

From classrooms in France to a global forum in Barcelona, this experience strengthened both her resilience and global perspective— one she would encourage fellow students to pursue.

【Study in France—with the same tuition】March 18, 2026

The MBA Program in International Management (imMBA) has renewed its academic partnership with KEDGE Business School in France, continuing a long-standing collaboration and offering students dual-degree and international learning opportunities.

KEDGE, with campuses in Paris, Bordeaux, and Marseille, is ranked 51–100 worldwide in QS 2025 Business & Management Studies and holds the prestigious Triple Crown accreditation (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA), achieved by only about 1% of business schools globally.

Through this dual-degree program, imMBA students may study in France while paying tuition at their home institution.

New elective modules at KEDGE are currently in development, with more details to be announced soon.

【Did you visit Fu Jen's Open House last weekend?】March 11, 2026

Departments across campus opened their classrooms and labs, giving students a glimpse into different fields of study.

For many, it's the first step in exploring a future major. But learning paths often continue beyond undergraduate studies.

At the College of Management, the MBA program in International Management (imMBA) offers an internationally focused graduate option. Courses are taught entirely in English, bringing together students from diverse countries and backgrounds.

Through dual-degree partnerships with overseas business schools, imMBA students may also have the opportunity to study in Europe or the United States.

If the Open House is the beginning of discovering Fu Jen, the next step for some may be imMBA.

【What Enables International Collaboration?】March 4, 2026

As we continue to expand international dual-degree partnerships, a common question is: can credits transfer smoothly across universities?

One key reason is AACSB accreditation, earned by the College of Management at Fu Jen Catholic University. Only about 5-6% of business schools worldwide hold this distinction.

AACSB is a rigorous international accreditation that recognizes high standards in curriculum design, faculty quality, and learning outcomes.

At the same time, the MBA in International Management (imMBA), the College of Management’s flagship international program, is delivered fully in English, creating a globally oriented learning environment.

For students, this means:

✔ Curriculum aligned with international standards

✔ A clear framework for credit transfer

✔ Partnerships built on comparable academic standards

✔ A degree with stronger global recognition

International collaboration begins when institutions share the same academic standards.

【International Collaboration Expands | Advancing Our First UK Academic Partnership】Feb. 25, 2026

To further strengthen the global partnership network of the imMBA program, we have recently initiated dual-degree academic collaboration discussions with the University of Stirling in the United Kingdom and have made substantive progress.

Located in Scotland, the University of Stirling is a public research university and is ranked among the leading institutions globally. Its strengths in business, marketing, and sustainability have earned strong international recognition.

Subject to the completion of ongoing discussions and the required administrative procedures, the University of Stirling would become the first UK higher education institution to partner with the imMBA program. This collaboration will open up a new overseas study option for our students.

The details of the partnership are currently being finalized. A formal announcement will be made once all procedures have been completed.

 

Our international connections continue to grow—stay tuned.

【Beyond Borders, Beyond Perspectives】Feb. 11, 2026

''One of the greatest takeaways from studying abroad,'' she shares, ''is learning to understand global markets and industry trends from different perspectives.''

 

For her, different perspectives emerged through lived experience rather than textbooks. Observing how different societies operate reshaped her understanding of trends. While ESG is widely discussed in Taiwan, she saw abroad how it moves beyond discussion and becomes embedded in everyday life and corporate culture.

 

This comparative experience also reshaped how she views Taiwan. ''In the past, I might have brushed away certain shortcomings as 'just the Taiwan way,''' she reflects. ''After spending time abroad, I became more aware of what could truly be improved.''

 

Stepping beyond familiar boundaries brought deeper understanding and sharper reflection that naturally expanded her perspective.  

 

#FJCU_imMBA #Dual_Master_Degree

【What does it feel like to study in the imMBA program?】Feb. 4, 2026

Many students share the same first reaction: it's hard to fade into the background.

Most imMBA classes are small, which means instructors notice every student and learning rarely feels invisible. As one student put it, ''you're always engaged.''

Studying in a fully English-taught environment isn't easy at first, but the classroom culture makes it hard to stay silent. ''It's almost impossible not to speak English,'' one student said—and over time, ''your confidence naturally builds.''

Learning goes beyond lectures and reports. Through flipped classrooms and active discussion, students take the stage and truly absorb what they learn. ''It doesn't stop at finishing a report—it really sinks in.''

Growth in professional knowledge and English ability doesn't happen all at once. Instead, it develops gradually, shaped by classrooms that consistently encourage participation, open expression, and active engagement.

【Four Hours in a Supermarket: A Student's First Taste of Life Abroad】Jan. 28, 2026

Students' overseas experiences show that learning often starts with daily life. Upon arriving in France, familiar routines—shopping, transportation, everyday interactions—became new challenges due to language and cultural differences.

 

As one student shared:“I couldn't read the labels or figure out the checkout process and ended up spending 4 hours in a supermarket.”

Through repeated attempts, students gradually shift from initial uncertainty to actively finding solutions.

In daily interactions, moments of patience, gestures, and mutual help foster genuine cross-cultural connection, allowing students to find their own rhythm in an unfamiliar environment.

【From Software Engineer to Managerial Roles: Seeing Further, Moving Forward】Jan. 21, 2026

Pauline Joyce Zac, a recent imMBA graduate from India, chose Fu Jen Catholic University for her very first experience abroad. 

 

With 3.5 years of experience as a software engineer, she entered the imMBA seeking more than technical skills. Reflecting on her journey, she shared: ''What once felt impossible gradually became possible. Through this MBA journey, I strengthened my transition from a software engineering background to managerial and leadership-focused roles.''

 

Building on this foundation, Pauline received multiple career opportunities before graduation, including an invitation to return to her former company—this time, in a promoted managerial role.

 

This is what the imMBA aims to offer: Not just a degree, but a journey from hesitation to possibility.

 

【Deepening Global Business Exchange: Fu Jen imMBA in Dialogue with Woosong University】Jan. 13, 2026

Last week, the College of Management at Fu Jen Catholic University hosted a delegation from Woosong University, South Korea, with the MBA in International Management (imMBA) invited to participate in the exchange. 

Leaders from both institutions shared insights on future international collaboration and global business education.

A key highlight of the visit was Woosong's SolBridge International School of Business, one of the few business schools in Korea offering fully English-taught programs. Its strong focus on international management, cross-cultural collaboration, and practice-oriented learning closely aligns with imMBA's long-term development goals.

 

【From Diplomacy to Cybersecurity? Yes, it's possible!】Nov. 19, 2025

A recent Career Management session left a strong impression on our students. 

 

We invited an external expert, Mr. Joseph Shieh, whose academic background was not in IT — he actually studied diplomacy. Yet through self-discipline, consistent effort, and perseverance, he successfully transitioned into cybersecurity and built the career he dreamed of. 

 

One student reflected after the session: For many of us, it was our first real exposure to cybersecurity. Hearing how he shifted careers showed me that it's never too late to change one's path.

 

This talk wasn't only about discovering a new field — it also highlighted that:

✔ Your background is not a barrier. It's a starting point.

✔ Career shifts are possible when you stay committed.

✔ Every step forward shapes the direction of your future.

 

【Insights on Future Talent Strategies | Former WTW General Manager Charles Wang Speaks at Fu Jen imMBA】Oct. 28, 2025

Professor Sophia Huang, formerly Deputy General Manager of Human Resources at CTBC Bank, led the session and guided students in exploring organizational culture, incentive design, and sustainable talent development.

 

The discussion brought together diverse cultural viewpoints, especially from international students, creating a vibrant exchange of ideas.
