Professor Bernard Yeung

Dean and Stephen Riady Distinguished Professor NUS Business School

In the face of the current financial crisis, business schools all over the world are faced with the challenges of producing relevant, visionary leaders who are also grounded in strong ethical principles.

Here at NUS Business School, we constantly ensure that our students are groomed and equipped with the right tools to succeed in the new business landscape. In addition to the global knowledge that you will learn, The NUS MBA is also strong in its focus on Asian businesses, giving you the competitive edge to excel in Asia’s growth.


 

“THE NUS MBA’S VISION IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH 100% INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE BY LEARNING ABOUT BEST PRACTICES FROM OTHERS, AND INCREASE YOUR VALUE AS A GLOBAL CITIZEN.”

 

The NUS MBA is a wonderful platform where our students fly and reach their aspirations upon graduation. In the latest QS Global 200 Business Schools 2009: The Employers’ Choice Survey, we are the only Asian business school in the whole of Asia that is most preferred by employers across the world. I am happy to share that in the Class of 2008, 93% of them secured jobs within 3 months of graduation. We also did very well in other rankings such as the Financial Times MBA Rankings 2009 where we rocketed to 35th place and the Economist Intelligence Unit 2008 Which MBA? Rankings which placed us 9th in Asia.

On a celebratory note, I warmly invite you to join us for a year of celebrations in 2010 as we commemorate 45 years of transformational leadership. This not only marks our achievements as a School but also collectively as a member of NUS.

Look beyond the current crisis and you know that the global business environment will experience a huge shift. Asia will continue to rise to power; ethics and corporate governance will be highly valued in companies; and a rich international experience and perspective will serve you well in your professional growth.

Make your MBA count upon graduation. Join us, and let us make you relevant in the new world of business.

    “O NUS MBA é uma das mais acertadas escolhas para educação e carreira no mundo dos negócios. É o único capaz de reunir a excelência acadêmica dos top MBA globais e estar no olho do furacão da próxima revolução: a Ásia. Estudar em Singapura e poder vivenciar em primeira mão a convergência e a síntese entre o ocidente e o oriente em seus diversos âmbitos: social, cultural, econômico e empresarial. Tudo isso estando em um dos países mais cosmopolitas do mundo.”

  • Jayson Huang Chung-En, Taiwanese, Class of 2011

    “Undoubtedly, many Taiwanese would take the MBA Programme in USA or in Europe as their first priority, but I chose a different way to extend my career path. Job opportunities are more accessible in Asia, and in Singapore, the NUS MBA programme holds such a great position with geographic benefits, professional faculty, Asia-focus know-how, international students, aggressive career services, and abundant resources.”

    “Just three hours by flight from Vietnam, Singapore is like another home to close to my home where anyone can comfortably settle down. Yet, it opens up numerous opportunities to meet people from all over the world, understand different cultures, start a challenging career or even take up new hobbies. It is indeed a gateway to explore the world further.”

  • Hugo Teophilo Costa Rufino, Class of 2010

    “The NUS MBA is one of the best choices for education and career in the business world today. It’s the only one able to unite the top academic excellence to be in the middle of the next revolution: Asia. Studying in Singapore means experiencing firsthand the convergence and the synergy between the west and east in multiple perspectives: social, cultural, economic and business. Everything is contained in one of the most cosmopolitan and business oriented countries in the world.”
