Open books assessments that mirror real-world decisions

Entrepreneurs do not succeed by memorizing—they succeed by finding, evaluating, and applying knowledge. That’s why this MBA uses open books assessments instead of classical question/answer exams. You’ll be challenged to synthesize information, make decisions under uncertainty, and justify your strategic choices.

This approach sharpens the skills that matter most outside the classroom: problem framing, critical analysis, and persuasive communication. In other words, you’ll be assessed the way real leaders are—by the value of your thinking and the impact of your decisions.

Learn from tutors with world-class academic pedigrees

Guidance matters. Your tutors and faculty include graduates of renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. They bring deep expertise and practical perspective to help you connect theory to application.

Expect mentorship that stretches your thinking and refines your approach. You’ll gain insights forged at the intersection of top-tier scholarship and real-world leadership—insights you can immediately deploy across projects, teams, and ventures.

A global classroom and a powerful network

Join a diverse cohort from over 130 countries and expand your perspective through peer learning that mirrors today’s borderless economy. You’ll build relationships with driven professionals who challenge and inspire you, enriching every discussion and group project.

Our alumni work for international organisations like Raffles World Academy, United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, Sony—proof that your network can open conversations across industries, functions, and continents.

Make education affordable with flexible monthly instalments

Your investment in learning should fit your financial planning. Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments—so you can pace your payments while you accelerate your career.

This flexibility supports smart budgeting and long-term thinking—two qualities that every entrepreneur values—allowing you to focus on creating impact rather than managing unnecessary financial strain.
