Top recruiters
We have strong relationships with recruiters at some of the world’s leading organisations.
“There is a general notion that MBAs are for those predominantly from or targeting consulting and finance industries. I was happy to discover that The NUS MBA is much more diverse than this and covers a wide variety of industries and professions, including tech, entrepreneurship, healthcare, education, energy, and construction. This enhances the learning experience and gives us a broader choice of employment after graduation.”

“The single most transformational experience for me was Launch Your Transformation. That was the beginning of all the amazing things that happened to me during my MBA journey. It helped me to put down all barriers in my mind and I started to relook at myself and understand myself better. Without the LYT bootcamp, I would not have made so many friends, run for Vice President, ventured into venture capital, and transformed myself from inside out.”
