  • Class work, including case discussions, presentations and extensive class participation.
  • A comprehensive final examination at the end of the residential segment.
  • A post-module written assignment.

Pre-module written assignments (if required) will typically be due 2-3 weeks prior to the start of the residential segment. The post-module assignment will be due 2-3 weeks after the end of the residential segment.

 

Daily Schedule and Venue

Classes will be held for 10 hours a day during each of the six, two-week residential segments. To create an environment conducive to intensive learning, most of the classes during the residential segments will be held in NUS Business School's Executive Rooms. Accommodation within NUS campus is available for our overseas participants.  However, it is on first come first serve basis and would require early reservations.  Overseas residential segments will be held in hotels with conference facilities. Candidates are required to be present during all sessions, starting from breakfast and ending with post-dinner sessions, which may involve dialogue with local guest speakers.
