Overview
Nanyang Business School (NBS) is a leading business school committed to educating tomorrow’s strategic leaders with cutting-edge academically rigorous curricula which are relevant to business practice.
One of Asia’s largest business schools, NBS offers a comprehensive array of undergraduate and graduate programmes in accountancy and business. Drawing on a 50-year heritage of educating the region’s business leaders, NBS provides an outstanding learning environment with state-of-the-art facilities and world-class research centres.
NBS is the first business school in Singapore, and the third in Asia, to have both the European Quality Improvement System and Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditations. It is also one of only seven business schools outside of the United States to be accredited with the AACSB in Accounting. These are the most widely recognised international quality assurance standards for accounting and business education.
The Nanyang MBA programme has been ranked among the top 30 in the world and is 4th in the Asia region including Australia.
Our full-time MBA is now ranked 27th globally, making it the second time that a Singapore-based university’s MBA programme has made it to the top 30 in the closely-watched annual MBA rankings done by The Financial Times. Last year our full-time MBA had been ranked 24th.
Making it to the top 30 globally is a notable achievement for Nanyang Business School. Our MBA was ranked 46th in 2008 and 67th in 2007.
Our being in the top 30 is the highest ever ranking for a MBA programme offered by a Singapore business school and now places the home-grown Nanyang Business School in the league of elite business schools worldwide.
For five consecutive years from 2004 to 2009, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has ranked the degrees conferred by NBS amongst the top 100 of the World's Best MBAs.
To leverage the strengths of world-class institutions, NBS has established many strategic partnerships and collaborations with leading institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Essec Business School, University of St Gallen, Waseda University and the Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
