2 Degrees, 1 Certificate
Once a student completes the requirements of S3 Asia MBA programme, the student will be awarded two full MBA degrees - one from the home university and another from a partner university. In addition, the candidate will also receive an S3 Asia MBA certificate signed by three deans from Fudan University Business School, Korea University Business School and NUS Business School. A student needs to declare his second MBA degree during the admission process in their home university.
Note: A student has to declare a preferred host degree at the beginning of the semester, since formal admission from the host school is required. To receive a Fudan host degree, students need to register for an additional semester to write a master thesis.
