NUS or Nanyang ?

[opag78]

Hi,


if I intend to stay up to 5 years in Singapore after the graduation, but want to work in a MNC and later would actually dream about going to US (e.g. California) which Business School would be the better choice ?

NUS or Nanyang ?
(assuming that I get offers from both schools and not taking into consideration the respective fees)

[prueplum]

from my knowledge, nanyang(NTU) is much well known for it business course. It is also well acclaimed internationally. But also because if that, it's gives the additional challenge and competition for the admission to the course.

Both have good courses. Nanyang has done well in the rankings lately, and NUS has been around a long time and so is better known overseas.

Consider looking at which unis have exchange agreements with them both. If you have an idea of which uni you want to do your MBA at, then chose the local uni which has an exchange programme with them. This will let you go there for a semester and try it out at cheaper undergrad prices.

In addition it lets you make contact with the lecturers, so it is easier to get letters of support to go there to do your MBA in the future.

Good Luck!

Hi,

I just noticed that I have not specifically mentioned that I am talking strictly about the Full-time MBA programme in either NUS or Nanyang.

So basically it interesting to know which business school has more reputation in Singapore itself (or are they both the same) and whether MNC employers in US do know these schools ?

Besides I thought that the admission process and the requirements for admission are the same in NUS and in Nanyang, or am I mistaken ?

Maybe some supplementary English first? What is reputated? Do you mean reputed? Sounds like something that climbed out of the premordial slime and fell back in and climbed out again. It didn't mutate, it reputated.

The spell checker works a treat if you use it.

I corrected my initial post, besides you could develop a more helpful attitude, rather than trying to be the wise guy.

Uhhh...typos happen right? Are you this unforgiving all year through or do you take a break around Christmas? Just wondering

So what you are saying, in a round about way, is that reputated is a common spelling error for certain English speakers and I touched a raw nerve. Okay, have it your way.

What I was actually saying was that "To err is human but to ensure the error gets its due on this forum is SMSian" And that quote is 100% original. Also I thought typos were universal, but the way you talk about spelling errors specific to "certain English speakers", I get the racist angle...truly I do Now what was that thing about inciting...

[sundaymorningstaple]

Again, you, like a lot of others, must really go to the dictionary and learn the definition of 'racist'. I'm not inciting anything, just point out some salient facts. (maybe it didn't touch a nerve but you actually know what I mean).

I am stating stuff as as result of having read 100's nay 1000's of resume's and CV's over the past 14 years in HR & Recruitment of Asean engineers for medium to high level positions both here and throughout the Asean region. Nothing racist about it. Have I met you? Am I what I say I am? Or is this only my online personna? I am having many years of experience! or I have many years of experience. Is that being racist? No. Is it a common trait of certain people to phrase that statement that way? Yes. Trends are noticeable especially in my line of work. If you want to call every trend exhibited by certain nationalities racist that's your business. So I guess I'm racist when I say Singapore are kiasu as it's a trait here?

1. Where's your sense of humour? Why overreact?

2. For someone who's cribbing about how thin skinned some ppl are you aint too different yourself.

3. I'd meant the whole thing in jest-forced to reclarify but am doing it now.

4. You should be able to laugh at yourself once in a while... You have a good sense of humour and you're no-nonsense, however there is a fine line between being a no-nonsense person and being a nit picker. You decide.

5. You may conveniently ignore all of the above. I've said what I had to.

SMS isn't being rascist, he's just being a crotchety old man!

[sundaymorningstaple]

Nah, I just did 48 hours with a juvenile jerk in the other threads.

[opag78]

I thank you all sinceresly for hijacking my thread.

However I still have some faint hope that somebody might actually reply on the initial question.

I mean has nobody in this forum ANY opinion about NUS or Nanyang ??

[sundaymorningstaple]

You would probably better placed by putting your query on a Singapore Citizen centric board rather than an Expatriate centric board. Most Expats, if they have done a Masters, did so in a Western Uni where they are more recognized world wide as opposed to being well rated in Asia. I don't know remember anybody on this board having done a Masters at either one of them.

If we hadn't hijacked it, it would have already been on page two. Bad news. At least this way it stayed where, like on google, it would get the best exposure. A page one listing.
