NUS MBA ranked first in Asia

This is the first time a Singapore business school made it to the list by Forbes.

The National University of Singapore Business School’s Master of Business Administration programme has been ranked the top programme in Singapore and Asia, and fourth among business schools outside the United States in the latest Forbes rankings.

NUS Business School’s fourth rank followed London Business School in top spot, Manchester Business School and Spain's IESE Business School. China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) was placed fifth.

The rankings are based on the ROI achieved by the MBA class of 2006, through a survey of individual graduates.

In its study, Forbes compared the earnings of graduates in their first five years out of business school to their opportunity costs, which include forgone salaries for the duration of the programme, as well as tuition and all other mandatory fees required for their course of study.

The survey also adjusted for cost-of-living expenses and took into consideration students who received scholarships or study awards to reflect the average actual cost of completing the NUS MBA.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
