Course Overview
The NUS MBA is a 17-month full-time program built around Asian business networks and a strong tech / family-enterprise track — useful for Sri Lankan professionals who plan to anchor their career in Singapore, the wider ASEAN region, or back home with regional exposure. The August 2026 intake closes on 31 March 2026 (Round 3).
