Hello !
I am eager to work for consulting companies from MBB or some others in Singapore. Throughout my thorough research, I've found out that top consulting firms pick graduates from LBS, Oxbridge, LSE, and some other elite schools. But I cannot find many MiM graduates from non-elite schools working in consulting firms. The job prospects of MiM graduates are quite opaque. I've also found out that MiM from NUS doesn't seem to be placed in specific industries like consulting or some sort. They are somehow distributed in different types of sectors, starting with the position of intern generally. Can MiM be considered a business-discipline degree because it is not stated as business management or some sort in the degree title?
So is it really worth to pursue MiM at NUS?
I am not familiar with the prospects, strengths, and weaknesses of MiM.
Thank you very much !
MiM = small form of MBA with less experience?

H Can MiM be considered a business-discipline degree because it is not stated as business management or some sort in the degree title?
If you do a little research, you will find out that MiM is a set of initials: master in management. On the FT ranking, you can see the programmes actually have slightly different names across the different schools.
There's a simple reason why most people from MiM and MBA degrees don't go into the strategy consultancies: they are small firms. They don't hire a lot of people. They do hire from elite schools but, even then, they don't hire most of the people from those top schools. In Singapore, they hire mostly from the top local schools (Insead, NUS, NTU and SMU). So, there are NUS and NTU MiM alumni in those firms, and Singaporean people who have studied abroad.
They also have huge internship programmes, and that is a great way to get in.
