Course Overview
The Yonsei MBA at the School of Business (YSB) is an 18-month, English-taught program based in Seoul — Asia's third-largest financial centre. The cohort is deliberately international (around 40% non-Korean) and the curriculum is built around the realities of doing business with Korean conglomerates: Samsung, Hyundai, LG, SK and Naver all recruit on campus.
For Sri Lankan applicants, YSB is one of the strongest English-medium MBA options in Asia outside Singapore and Hong Kong. AACSB and EQUIS dual-accredited, with exchange partners at Wharton, INSEAD, and HEC Paris. Dual-degree options with Cornell, Cass (Bayes), and Keio give graduates two degrees in two years.
