     Nanyang Professional MBA
     Accelerated learning at a flexible pace
     The Nanyang Business School’s Nanyang Professional
     MBA (PMBA) offers a full MBA experience in a unique
     part-time format tailored for accomplished
     professionals. Current Nanyang PMBA participant
     Kenneth Koh and recent Nanyang PMBA graduate Leng
     Ying Jun share their experiences of the programme.

                                                                                                     Kenneth Koh
              For Kenneth, the Nanyang PMBA programme’s 18-month schedule of classes
                                                                                                     Chief Operating Officer
              held every alternate weekend offers a good pace of learning that fits well with
                                                                                                     SG Cash Pte Ltd
              his work commitments. “As a working professional, the flexible arrangement
              and central campus in Novena are convenient. I do not need to rush for a lesson
              after a long day at work. Also, I do not need to rush through every module and
              can focus better compared to attending lessons on weekday evenings.”

             In terms of the curriculum, “I particularly enjoyed the Leading People Globally module, which focuses on people skills
             such as negotiation techniques, cultural intelligence and talent management,” says Kenneth. “The Strategy Projects
             at Nanyang (SPAN) module is also unique, providing hands-on experience assisting a sponsor company on a real-life
             consulting project.”

             As a member of his firm’s senior management, Kenneth has been able to share his new knowledge with his
             management team and apply it to the day-to-day operations. He aims to use what he learns on the programme “to
             become a more competent leader and lead my firm to greater heights.”

                                                           Ying Jun began the Nanyang PMBA programme just as she was
                                                           transiting to a new job. “Besides covering topics related to my role,
                                                           the programme gave me a more holistic understanding of how the
                                                           work that I do relates to the organisation as a whole. Soft-skill such
                                                           as negotiation and culture enabled me to bridge the gap in a new
                                                           workplace faster.”

                                                           The arrangement of the modules allowed Ying Jun to effectively build
                                                           on the concepts and deepen her understanding. The alternate weekend
                                                           schedule also allowed time for an exchange programme. “My two-
                                                           week stint at Peking University was certainly a highlight.”

                                                           Another highlight was SPAN. “My group was fortunate to have a project
                                                           that was in a totally different industry from ours. It enabled us to deep
        Leng Ying Jun                                      dive into that industry and gain an understanding of the business model
        Project Manager, Neste                             as well as the concerns faced. SPAN gave us real-time experience in
                                                           creatively applying the frameworks and concepts taught.”

                                                           Beyond a toolbox of business skills, her biggest takeaway? “The many
                                                           individuals who inspired me with their insights and achievements to
                                                           reflect on how I can continuously improve.”

             CELEBRATING 20 YEARS | POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION
     Since establishing our first MBA partnership with the University of Nottingham in 1999, PSB Academy has
     developed an inclusive and conducive environment where executives can advance their management skill sets
     and professional connections, while studying toward qualifications at the master’s and doctorate levels.

     Navigate complexity in today’s business world through thought leadership and specialisation in areas such as
     business management, data analytics, and cyber security.

     VALUE-ADDED SUPPORT
     Striving to provide quality postgraduate education beyond the classroom, we aim to provide our students with as
     much industry exposure as possible, with activities such as overseas study tours, guest lectures, industry visits, and
     networking opportunities with alumni to enrich the student life and learning as much as possible beyond the
     classroom.

     ONLINE LEARNING SUPPORT
     For the health and safety of our students, we have enabled live streaming of lessons and virtual interaction with
     classmates through online learning platforms. As Singapore enters into Phase 2 of Safe Transition, we will increase
     on-campus activities progressively and do this in a calibrated and safe manner.
