Singapore - SMU

I am currently admitted to NUS MBA but also waiting for the result from SMU(Singapore management University).
SMU is starting MBA course this year. I like the fact that SMU MBA has shorter period and smaller class size, but in terms of future perspective I am not sure which MBA is better...
I want to change my career into finance.

If you know about SMU/NUS, I appreciate your comments! Thank you.

SMU, though launched with a lot of hype has yet to prove itself... It's 1 year programme but costlier than NUS MBA... Only time will tell the worth of money they plan to chanrge :-)

Hi,

It is difficult to tell if SMU's MBA would be as good as its bachelor programmes because the MBA programme has just been launched.

A MBA programme can only get into relevant and reputable MBA rankings after 3 years of its launch. In other words, the MBA rankings of SMU would only be released by 2011 the earliest. As a result, if you are looking for a career in Europe or America after your MBA programme of SMU, it is difficult for your potential recruiters to know your school because there are no track records of the MBA programme, no previous MBAs have worked for them before, and cannot leverage on your MBA alumni for assistance in recruitment.

On the other hand, NUS and NTU does offer very good MBA programme and they also ranked highly internationally, especially if you intend to work in the Asia Pacific Region upon your graduation.

Kind regards,
Thomas
