The NBS Global Leaders Programme (NGL) by Nanyang Business School is one of the Premier Scholars Programmes offered at NTU. This programme is designed for high-achieving students who are looking for a holistic educational journey that goes beyond academics to prepare the next generation of business leaders.

One of the key features of the NGL is the curated workshops, led by NBS faculty and leading industry experts, that will give you an edge in your search for internships and full-time jobs. You’ll get the chance to collaborate with industry partners and work on real-life industry challenges, visit companies, and participate in networking sessions. You will also have the chance to learn under the mentorship of senior business executives to prepare you for leadership roles in the world’s top companies.

In addition, you’ll get the chance to create something that has a long-lasting impact on the community in your final year, funded by the Founder’s Project. Whether it’s starting a social enterprise or developing a new app to address a community issue, this project enables you to give back to society in a tangible, impactful way.

NBS Global Leaders (NGL) is not a programme on its own as it will run in parallel with your enrolled programme (eg. Double Degree in Accountancy and Business). Hence, you will study in your respective programmes, while concurrently pursuing enriched academic and co-curricular activities that are being offered by NGL.  

The NBS Global Leaders (NGL) is open to all nationalities with outstanding academic records enrolled in a 4-year programme in NBS. You should also possess excellent co-curricular records with strong leadership qualities and potential, as well as solid communication and interpersonal skills that will enable you to reach your full potential in the workplace after graduation.

NBS offers the following 4-year programmes:

-        Double Degree in Accountancy and Business

-        Double Degree in Accountancy & Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

-        Bachelor of Applied Computing in Finance

-        Bachelor of Accountancy (Sustainability Management and Analytics)
