“Through the program, I have received an amazing opportunity. I can confidently say it is re-shaping my ideas, personality, and management capabilities. I am learning a lot from my classmates, who support and encourage me to be better each day. One unexpected result of my time so far, is how I am more open to sharing my opinions and experiences with my team and classmates. I am starting to naturally merge what I am learning from class into daily work and share ideas with my colleagues. Each session is making me a better, more confident employee, and I am appreciative that the program provides the fantastic experience.”

“The UCLA-NUS EMBA has changed the way I think and behave in business. I joined in order to strengthen my understanding of quantitative business concepts and further sharpen my ability to connect with people from varied backgrounds. The diverse academic and cultural opportunities that are presented while attending each unique session abroad are exclusive to this program. Not enough can be said however of your classmates and the role that they play in your experience – not only your time spent studying, but socially, where connections can help us further understand that the future of the global economy is dependent on our ability to connect with each other on a deeper, more empathetic level..”

“The UCLA-NUS EMBA program delivered the perfect balance in terms of academic rigour and experiential learning. Each two-week segment was thoughtfully designed, and offered myriad opportunities for the class to interact with various thought leaders and captains of industry outside the classroom. The world class faculties from both universities, together with the rich diversity of the class, made for an exhilarating and rewarding learning journey.”

“The program has given me the ability to really understand how businesses operate far beyond the scope of my normal job. We begin our careers and typically stick to one field of work or industry and never understand how the rest of the business operates and the internal/external factors that impact a companies success or downfall. I very much enjoyed the diversity in coursework and instruction along with the various backgrounds and skillsets brought from my classmates. I learned that everyone has very unique strengths and it’s when those different strengths are brought together can people become the most powerful. ”

“Each of the two-weeks segments in four different countries was an enlightening journey with 40 other wonderful business leaders from such diverse backgrounds. This incredible cultural immersion experience made me realize what it really means to think out of the box, leading me to an entirely new perspective on how to do business differently in traditional Japanese corporate settings.”

“The format is right with the well-thought approach of two weeks every quarter in 6 different locations. We had assignments and reading in between but it allowed us to effectively balance our work with the learning. I was highly interested in a business and technology intersection to the program, and the schools brought the best of this from Asia and USA together. The candidates of the program is a well-balanced and diverse group – I have learnt as much from my classmates’ experiences and perspectives, as I have from the excellent and truly top-class Faculty from both schools. The program places significant importance in interaction with C-level industry captains through client-visits and case-study driven learning, and this combines both a practitioner element with the academic focus on the program. All of us really bonded as life-long friends. Proud to be a member of the Alumni of both Universities.”
