UCMT Europe

What UCMT Europe does

UCMT Europe (legal name: ECOLE SUPÉRIEURE COÉVOLUTION MANAGEMENT ET TECHNOLOGIE) is a Swiss-based executive education institution operating as the primary foreign-degree platform of the CPMC (Xie Jin Education Group) network. Founded in 2015 within a group established in 2001, UCMT offers part-time doctoral (DBA) and master's (MBA/EMBA) programs targeted at working professionals, particularly Chinese executives seeking European degrees without career interruption. Its academic content is delivered through partnerships with French universities including Montpellier University (MOMA), ISTEC Paris Business School, Côte d'Azur University, and ENPC.

The institution operates a hybrid 'TMT Learning Model' (Theory-Method-Tool) that combines online live and recorded course delivery with in-person intensive workshops, and runs six industry schools covering Global Business Management, Financial Technology, Intelligent Manufacturing, Healthcare Management, and Digital Technology. It maintains five teaching centers in Geneva, Paris, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, and supports a proprietary WeChat mini-program (UCMT+) for community engagement.

UCMT generates revenue through three primary streams: multi-year executive DBA and master's tuition (3-year contracts with modular delivery), customized corporate talent development programs, and industry-specific training programs serving verticals such as healthcare, intelligent manufacturing, and sustainable development. Its go-to-market relies on enterprise field sales, event-driven engagement (e.g., Shanghai Management Science Forum, graduation ceremonies), and a community-led referral model powered by the GDA Global Doctoral Association network of 3,000+ alumni. The company is privately held under CPMC, with no disclosed funding rounds or external investors.
