Internationalisation and Asia

Internationalisation has propelled Asia into a rising star in terms of business globally.  Many foreign companies look to Asia for strategic alliances and cooperation, as well as mergers and acquisitions. This gives rise to the impetus to understand Asia and it is difficult to relegate the importance of knowing Asia’s businesses and operations.

Nanyang Business School, Singapore is one of Asia’s leading business schools. Our EMBA programme is consistently ranked among the world's top EMBA programmes by the Financial Times. It was the second-best placed in the world and the best in Singapore among single-university programmes. As a university, Nanyang Technological University is the #1 top young universities under 50 years old by QS Asia rankings 2021.

Nanyang Business School is well placed to provide Asia Immersion / Study Tours programmes to institutions, universities or companies. One of the distinctive characteristics of our programmes is the geographic emphasis, covering the various nations, economies, and social systems of Southeast Asia.

Our vast experience ensures that you will be provided with the best in curriculum and content.  By combining real-world study with discovery, we enable you to experience  first-hand the climate, action, and melting pot of changes that occur within businesses in Asia.

Our Asian Immersion / Study Tour Programmes are customised to meet each company’s or institution’s goals. We help to provide unique opportunities to explore new horizons and broaden everyone’s perspectives. As well as creatively enhancing and enriching knowledge, we promote personal growth and cross-cultural understanding.

Our programmes include visits to companies that operate in Asia through branch and joint ventures. You will have the opportunity to meet with executives from a wide range of businesses including European, local, and US joint ventures and subsidiaries. In each country, experts in cross-cultural communication provide a clear overview of the current economic situation.

You will get to experience first-hand the people, cultures, and contemporary issues unique to countries in Asia, as well establish valuable contacts. Our Asian Business seminars will deepen your understanding by immersing you fully into an exhilarating learning environment that encourages you to synthesize everything.

By the time our programme concludes, you will be able to conceptualise a model for successfully working in Asia, as well as other parts of the world. You will also be able to further research topics of interest and integrate them your own in-country experience, as well as share your learnings to your company and community.

Our Summer Programmes offer students a unique opportunity to broaden their academic and cultural horizons by studying abroad during the summer months. Hosted by NTU, our programmes allow students to immerse themselves in a different cultural and educational environment. This experience not only enhances their academic knowledge but also fosters personal growth and a global perspective.

Through a combination of coursework, cultural excursions, and social activities, students gain a deeper understanding of the host country’s business operations, history, and social dynamics. The programme may also include guest lectures, workshops, and group projects that encourage collaboration between students from diverse backgrounds, promoting a richer learning experience.

The academic component is designed to complement the student’s home curriculum while offering new perspectives and approaches to learning. By studying alongside peers from around the world, participants develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential in today’s interconnected global economy.
