An MBA is an opportune moment to meet potential employers and start making connections that can help you land your dream job.
NUS works with corporate partners from all areas of industry, including Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan in finance, Microsoft in technology, and BP in energy. Involvement ranges from student mentoring to sponsoring MBA consulting projects.
Greg Unsworth, digital business and risk assurance leader at PwC in Singapore, has worked for several years on MBA consulting projects. The company offers several research topic areas for groups of MBAs to work on, from the future of blockchain, to responsible artificial intelligence.
