The program has a good mix of theory and experiential learning. The class discussions were intellectually stimulating. The diversity of the class was certainly a plus, with no lack of creative thinking and differing perspectives. The friendships formed are invaluable.”

The structure of the programme allowed the class to benefit from the networks of both institutions – UCLA to the West Coast technology scene, and NUS to the Asia-Pacific region. The global curriculum and study locations reinforced these with real-life and academic knowledge. This brought out practical and highly applicable learning points.”

Aside from being two top ranked universities, the UCLA – NUS EMBA offered exactly what an executive like myself was looking for: diverse backgrounds, global experiences, exchanges of lessons learned. In addition, the six segments (two weeks each) allowed me to balance work and family time. What a perfect formula.”
