Is the Asia Ivy League here?

The Asian education system in renowned for its rigour and competitiveness, and only the best and brightest get a coveted place in the top schools in Asia. In this sense, the Asian Ivy League type schools already exist – they have long established reputations for academic excellence, similar to their counterparts in North America.

NUS, for example, has been around since 1905, and has consistently ranked among the top universities in the world – #1 in Asia, #11 in the world & in the QS World University Rankings, #3 in Asia & #21 in the world in The Times Higher Education World University Rankings. We’re committed to nurturing our students to succeed in the future economy, and to drive innovative solutions to local and global challenges. Our graduates have been making their mark in both private and public sectors, and emerging as leaders in both society and industry.

At NUS, we prepare our MBA graduates to lead organisations in Asia and the world. Today, one can’t run global businesses effectively without a solid understanding of Asia. Our curriculum equips students with strong business knowledge, while fully immersing them in the Asian context.

For international students, studying in a top university in Asia has tremendous advantages:
1. Affordable tuition, compared to top universities in North America & Europe.
2. Deep cultural immersion, especially in a place like Singapore, a melting pot of so many different Asian cultures and a springboard to the rest of Asia.
3. A world-class education that is on par with other top schools globally.

The NUS MBA offers all the above and more – our students benefit from one of the most transformative experiences in Asia. Students can customise their MBA journey by choosing from a wide range of electives in the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship, digital business, strategy and organisation, finance, marketing, consulting and more. Experiential learning, a big focus of the programme, takes our student outside the classroom and helps them build highly sought after skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, communication, adaptability, and interpersonal skills.
