“No better way to expand your global business experience, build meaningful relationships, and challenge yourself intellectually. Get ready to embark on a journey that you will cherish for the rest of your life.”

“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.”

“Traveling and understanding different social and business cultures feeds my appetite for understanding the world by pushing my own boundaries and challenging what I think I’m capable of. This program took me to the cultural capitals of the world and provided me the tools and strategies to transform the challenges of the 21st century into opportunities for business and society. The rigorous curriculum accelerated my personal & professional growth in a way that fuels me to perform at the highest levels, accelerating my journey in becoming a global leader.”

“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.”

“On paper, the promise of 2 best-in-class institutions offering insights on Asian and Western management practices was compelling. In real life, attending classes in Singapore, LA, and other countries while balancing demands of work was very challenging, And in hindsight, having survived the challenges, I would not have it any other way. All our professors shared time and insights that ultimately proved useful and invaluable to growing my business while my classmates provided the support (and fun) that made it all worthwhile.”

“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.”
