Course content

We are proud to have been running this programme in Singapore since 1993. Following a syllabus closely linked to our MBA in the UK and taught by the same leading academics, we have customised this course to draw on more Asian cases and institutional material than in the UK programme.

In order to benefit from your studies, you need to demonstrate that you have a good level of written and spoken English before taking up a place with us. You would normally demonstrate your level of English with IELTS/TOEFL/PTE or alternative qualifications as noted above, but in some situations these qualifications are not required. For example, Singaporean nationals who have a degree from Singapore or GCSE English grade 4/C equivalent will not normally need to provide an English language qualification. A number of other exemptions may also apply if you have studied in a majority English speaking country.
