THE NTU ADVANTAGE

A Holistic Approach Rooted In
Experiential Learning

Our PMBA programme adopts a holistic

approach that you can apply to your specific
business contexts. It comprises an integrated
learning and exploration process, organised
across three key areas Business Fundamentals,
Strategic Insights and Experiential Learning.
This enables you to engage systematically with
a range of complex issues.

Through the Nanyang MBA, I had the

opportunity to observe, analyse the
business world and provide solutions
from the perspectives of both academia
and industry. The global student body
and robust discussions fueled by
assumptions buried in different cultures
are good soil to nurture next generation
leaders. Various courses continually
inspired me to take a step further
towards my aspirations. Each endeavour
contributes to my transformation most
importantly the people skills that are
being coached by the GSCDO team.
Thanks to the Nanyang MBA, I am on a
new track in my career.
