Hallo,
i'm interested in MBA in Asia and I would like to ask you some advice, i've found previous posts very interesting and well argumented.
I've 6 years experience in Italy and a GMAT of 710.
I'm not interested in finance, much more in strategy and with an eye to international development (working in empreneurial projects design and management).
I found very interesting the program at NUT Singapore, it is good ranked, it is international (i'm not sure if i want to stay in Asia, after the MBA), it has interesting "chinese" electives (as Sun-Tzu and the Art of war theories applied to business, f.i.).
In no previous post, anyway, NUT MBA was considered among the best of Asia.
What do you think about its program?
I thought even to apply to HKUST but it seems to me too financial oriented.
Even IIM Bangalore seems to me interesting, because I'm interested in India, but seems too long and maybe too indian.
Any suggestion?
Many thanks

Nobody helps?

Dear Pablo,
Unfortunately I cannot tell you anythig about the program you mention. But I know that there has been a lot of dicussion going on here i this board about b-schools in Asia. So if you don't find any info about this program, that's curious. It must not be very ínternational then.

About India, I would strongly advise you to go for Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad, IIM A, which has a high international standing. I think other programs tend to be too Indian, as you say. IIM A is mostly known by recruiters also. Even there it might be, if not very Indian, at least a very Asian experience...

But IIMB is also a very good school, so since you feel like spending some time in India, I'd encourage you to do some research about the internationality of Bangalore, maybe it's not so local in the end.

Thank Attiya.
Actually the fact that there are no previous posts about Nanyang MBA surprises me too, since it is, according to rankings (FT and EIU), in the top global 100 MBAs.
Further it seems to be quite international (about 60% of students are foreign).
Anyway your point is reasonable, I will check better.
India is very interesting to me but I feel a bit too old for a 2 year MBA like the ones at IIM.
I'd prefer a shorter program with some a bit experienced classmates, too (not an EMBA, though).
Singapore was an idea (1 year and a half).
What about Indian School of Business?Not very cheap, to be Asian, but it seems interesting.
Otherwise I will try also with some European short programs (IE, Insead, HEC), where I can improve my spanish or learn French (very useful if one wants to work in Africa, f.i.) and maybe going for an exchange program in India/Asia.
Hoping to get some scholarship there, because not wanting to work in finance or multinational companies the return of my investiment could not be so fast.
thanks a lot

OK, if Nanyang is in the top 100 of the FT ranking, it looks as a good place to study for you, as you are looking for some ¨"exotic" or different place to go for the experience.

I heard from friends of mine who lived in SIngapore that it must be a very dense multicultural placxe itself. But I believe that the 60% foreigners are mostly regional, Asian (which can be ok). You could check that, and also the image of the school among international recruiters, and connections to international business.

Besides, the reason why there has not been any post on this board about that school is that for the moment the discussion on Asian school was pretty much limited to HKUST, Insead, and 2 other HK schools. Somebody was very keen on increasing the visibility of HKUST (I guess paid to promote the school or something). Sometimes a quite dynamic discussion, so everythiung turned around this, and other schools were not mentioned anymore, neglected.
