learning

World-class MBA programs
MBS has long been ranked among the best MBA programs in the world
by leading international publications, including The Economist and the
Financial Times.
The MBA fosters the highest level of leadership, and gives students the
skills they need to shape the future and address the critical issues faced
by managers. MBS graduates have an understanding of global business
issues, strong interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to
think analytically and strategically.
Our MBA is academically rigorous and gives students the freedom to
customise their program based on career aspirations. The core subjects
develop student knowledge and understanding of the many functions of
business operations, while electives allow students to maintain a broad
focus or to concentrate on a preferred specialisation.
There is no typical MBA student at MBS and no standard career path for
our graduates. Selection into the program supports academic industry,
and cultural diversity. Students come from different countries around the
globe, and bring diverse backgrounds, work histories, industry knowledge
and life experiences with them. However, our MBA students do have some
common attributes – the motivation to succeed, the ability to provide
meaningful contributions in the classroom and the desire to transform their
life and become global business leaders.
