Welcome on board the UCLA-NUS Executive MBA!

Dr Emir Hrnjic
Academic Director, UCLA-NUS Executive MBA

It is my pleasure to welcome you to this prestigious program.

With a strong and unique focus on US and Asia markets, this program provides our EMBA participants with the most efficient path to two top business degrees. You can expect immersive residential segments in 4 countries, 2 world class MBA degrees, and 1 extraordinary experience.

As I mentioned to all of you, the program attracts small cohorts of participants with various industry backgrounds and we put them in the room with instructors with subject matter expertise, and industry experts as guest speakers. While students learn from instructors and industry leaders, bedrock of EMBA program is peer learning through discussions and teamwork. Combining all these together results in a high-quality, experiential learning.

Class of 2024 is a diverse group of extremely talented and accomplished individuals with wealth of knowledge and experience. I have no doubt that you will continue the tradition of the success and accomplishments of many graduates of this program.

Welcome to UCLA-NUS Executive MBA! Let’s make this learning journey special!
