About Nanyang

The NANYANG MBA, ranked 27^th in the world by the FT, has a busy curriculum including their Business Study Missions (BSM), a one-week trip to one of 20 different locations.

The week includes seminars with senior government officials and prominent industry leaders, site visits and interaction with academic experts, as well as meetings with members of business associations and consulting professionals.

NANYANG is the only Singapore b-school with a place in the FT global rankings. The city-state has positioned itself as a regional hub for finance, research and innovation, and Nanyang’s analytical focus reflects this.

It’s part of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore’s flagship technology research university. Students can pursue joint degrees at Nanyang heavyweight partner schools around the world, including MIT, Switzerland’s St Gallen and Japan’s Waseda University.

Monocle magazine recently ranked Singapore among the "Top 20 Most Liveable Cities" in the world. Famed for its cuisine and tropical gardens, the city is a great jumping-off point to explore nearby countries including India, China, Vietnam and Thailand.

nadejdakontrol: Is Singapore a friendly destination for entrepreneurs from overseaes. i know a lot of expats have jobs in multinational companies, but what if I wanted to set up a small business after graduation e.g. a health food business. What are my chances? Do I need a Singaporean sponsor?

JT23: Is being close to Kong Kong an advantage nowadays, or perpahs being close to Shanghai is even better? There has been a reshap in the Asian financial marlet, right?

Sunny: I recently met with Nanyang's international relation team in London. They are so impressive: they are so driven to embrace the lastest changes in social media, which just shows how proactive the school is.
