NUS Business School was voted the top universal business school with major international influence, in a ranking done by Eduniversal. We were also voted the third best business school in the Far Eastern Asia region. Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ‐ School of Business and Management and Tsinghua University - School of Economics and Management came in first and second respectively.

The selection for Eduniversal 2008 rankings is made by a scientific committee that has established a global mapping system meeting the criteria of universality and the international reputation of each academic institution.

We also received a 5 Palmes Award from Eduniversal, a recognition that is given to the top 100 universal Business Schools with major international influence.

The Eduniversal Palmes indicate the level of an academic institution's international reputation and is awarded using two criteria: the degree of internationalisation and Deans' vote. Internationalisation includes aspects such as accreditation, network of partners and participation in international academic associations.

Each Dean from the universities and schools on the Eduniversal list of 1,000 best business schools will also vote to recommend the other academic institutions.

The award ceremony was held on 4 - 5 November 2008 in La Sorbonne, Paris.
