“The multicultural environment, as well as the comprehensive opportunities at NUS attracted me to move to Singapore and pursue the NUS Master of Science in Management. The curriculum at NUS has a global outlook and emphasises on Asian insights. At the same time, I can network with students from all over the world.”

“As a national athlete for Singapore, I was taught that the best kind of preparation involves competing with the best before the actual event. NUS Business School has exposed me to the best of the best. The CEMS programme has allowed top business students from around the world to meet. We debate, discuss and collaborate over a multitude of topics, preparing us for our fight day – the workforce.”

“During my time at NUS, I met individuals from across the globe. Not only did we get to exchange our ideas and knowledge, but also learned more about the business world in general. With the education that we have received at NUS, we strive to become future business leaders of the world.”

“I chose NUS Business School, a leading business school in Asia, to have a better understanding of doing business in Asia and to discover the beautiful city of Singapore. It was very interesting to work on different group projects with students from all over the world and with different backgrounds. To me, this diversity is the very strength of the MSc in Management, along with brilliant teachers that teach interesting modules.”

“I decided to join the NUS MSc in Management to broaden my horizons. As a former market expansion manager, I wanted to deepen my knowledge of the Asian market and gain access to incredible opportunities. Singapore is the epicentre of innovation in Asia and NUS appeared to be the perfect choice because of its unique cultural mix, innovation and technological focus. The experience has been incredible, has broadened my perspectives and given me first-hand insights into Asia. ”

“When applying for graduate programmes and planning for career transition, location & curriculum were my priorities. I was interested in being in an international hub like Singapore where there is a good blend of Eastern and Western cultures. I wanted to become more well-rounded in my business acumen so that I can stay competitive in our market. With these considerations, I chose to pursue the NUS MSc in Management because the programme was the perfect fit for my professional aspirations.”

“During the COVID-19 crisis, NUS Business School is one of the few schools in the world being able to offer offline teaching during the pandemic and therefore, this semester has been amazing both in terms of interactive teaching and the ability to experience the student life to its fullest. The studies at NUS definitely exceeded my expectations. Being aware of the fact that NUS is the top university in Asia, I did not expect anything less than top-class education.”

“My expectations of NUS have been exceeded. As one of Asia’s top business schools, NUS offers a Master’s in Management at the highest level of international degrees. The curriculum consists of courses that develop soft and hard skills while addressing an Asian context. The MSc in Management + CEMS allows students to gain international experience and foster a global network. Personal development, career shaping and creating memories best describe my experience at NUS so far.”

“The NUS MSc in Management + CEMS MIM programme broadened my horizons in ways I could never have imagined. The CEMS community significantly expanded my network beyond Asia. The diversity and intelligence of the CEMSies I shared classes with enriched my thinking and widened my worldview. The experience – living in London and Tokyo, my business project in Tokyo with four others of different nationalities, among many other things – pushed me outside of my comfort zone multiple times.”

“As an HR professional, I considered the need to gain more experience in other fields and the NUS MSc in Management was precisely what I was looking for. It is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and despite it was during the COVID-19 pandemic, I believe it is more valuable as it also challenged me to adapt and reinvent myself and be more ready for the “new normal” era.”

“It has been a rewarding journey being part of NUS CEMS family. The outstanding curriculum provided insightful and up-to-date business courses that accelerated my international career path. NUS’ supportive multicultural community distinguished the programmes from others. It not only gave me the opportunity to expand my professional network on a global level but also allowed me to build life-long friendships.”

“My time at NUS has exceeded my expectations with constant opportunities to learn in real-world situations and getting us ready to enter the workforce. Studying among a wide diversity of cultures has helped me to become a global citizen who is comfortable working and communicating with people from all backgrounds. I would recommend the NUS MSc in Management to anyone wanting to further their career in international management because it is sure to be a pivotal move in your life.”

“The NUS MSc in Management programme embraces a dynamic curriculum that nurtures original thinking, encourages diversity, and aims to groom future global leaders. It was a rewarding learning experience. The opportunity to learn from inspirational and forward-looking courses and worked alongside highly-motivated individuals. I am equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to face challenges in the rapidly changing working environment as well as established lifelong friendships.”

“The NUS MSc in Management gave me a holistic education in Business Management, prepared me for the evolving work environment and offered me opportunities in various lines of work. It is an exemplary programme that helped me understand the perspectives of top management executives, gain insights from a global standpoint and forge lifelong friendships around the world. It has been one of my most rewarding experiences thus far.”

“The NUS MSc in Management & CEMS MIM programme has provided me with the tools to drive my curiosity and work smarter in a fast-paced business world. It has given me a truly international experience through academic exchanges in elite Business Schools in Asia, Europe and Australia. It has enriched my personal and professional network around the world.”
