Designed to nurture and develop leaders, the broad-based NUS MBA programme prepares students to lead people and manage operations in organisations in the public and private sectors. Combining the strengths of both NUS Business School and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, this new double degree programme - the first of its kind in the region - aims to attract the region's outstanding executives; particularly those who intend to pursue careers in government and its enterprises.
