“The programme has been an eye-opener. Having been in the civil service for the past 23 years, the NUS Executive MBA has been a great learning opportunity to understand the business environment. Focusing on the Asia-Pacific region, the visits to five different countries out of Singapore brought forth extensive cultural learning experiences and appreciation of business best practices in the various companies visited.”

“From the exceptional networking through the Alumni network to the interactive, intellectually challenging class discussions, The NUS EMBA far surpassed my expectations. My perspective of the world was enriched. I have formed bonds with classmates that will last a lifetime. I have also learnt how to navigate the multicultural landscape that is Asia-Pacific. Coming from South Africa, the travel through Asia provided incredible insights and diverse experiences. I have grown through this experience by tackling challenges head-on and grabbing opportunities as they present themselves.”

“Embedded in the EMBA programme are the immersive learning segments in vibrant cities that form the core of the Asia-Pacific economic powerhouses. The spirit of diversity also comes to light in the immersive learnings where participants have the opportunity for face-to-face interactions with regional players such as local companies growing regionally or global companies trying to position themselves locally. The learnings hence obtained cannot be taught through books and are a representation of experiential learning.”

“With a focus on Asia-Pacific, this programme has been very relevant and practical. The modules and coursework align with real business issues, and it has helped provide new perspectives and ideas on how to tackle ongoing and future challenges. However, what surprised me is the camaraderie within the cohort and the networking of like-minded professionals who will remain valuable to me. I am pleased that I leapt faith to invest my time and resource to improve my knowledge and skillsets with the NUS EMBA. It has been a rewarding journey!”

“The NUS Executive MBA programme is an exceptional learning journey that has transformed my life and my way of thinking. It is a challenging, intensive and emotional yet rewarding programme to master a combination of hard and soft skill capabilities achieved through learning from an expanded professional network across industries.
