Chicago Booth Reaffirms Links to Singapore: MBA News
NUS Business School is joining forces with Chicago Booth for a new series of executive education programs that are aimed at supporting the development of emerging leaders in Asia, and helping them to realize the region’s potential for growth in the near future.
Having relocated its Asian EMBA program from Singapore to Hong Kong last year, the linkup - in what will be open enrollment executive education provision - with NUS Business School, sees Chicago Booth follow through on its promise to retain close links to the Southeast Asian city state.
“This collaboration signals our intent to continue to contribute to Singapore and this region,” said Chicago Booth’s dean, Sunil Kumar, in a press release for NUS Business School.
Leadership pipeline central to executive education at NUS Business School
The open enrollment executive education courses, to be known as the Asia Executive Series, will take place at NUS Business School, but will jointly taught by faculty from both schools. The first course, a one-week program for emerging CFOs (chief financial officers), starts in November 2015 with further courses due to be announced later in the year.
From NUS Business School’s perspective, the partnership represents part of its desire to help meet Asia’s demand for skilled leaders as the region’s economies continue to expand:
“It is our latest initiative to develop a pipeline of leaders for this region, following the launch of the Asia Leaders in Financial Institutions (ALFI) program,” said NUS Business School’s dean, Bernard Yeung, namechecking a new eight-month executive education program that is also set to get underway later this year.
Chicago Booth’s plans in Hong Kong
Although Chicago Booth’s EMBA program has already been launched from its new base in Hong Kong, its Singapore campus is to remain fully-functional until the graduation of its class of 2015. Meanwhile, the school’s class of 2016 and subsequent intakes will be studying at an interim campus in Hong Kong until a purpose-built base has been completed.
Chicago Booth has submitted plans for a new location to house its EMBA in Hong Kong – at Mount Davis, situated west of Hong Kong’s central business district on Hong Kong Island. However, with construction due to start in 2016 assuming all approval is granted, it will be fall 2018 before the school can begin to offer programs there. The interim campus is based further south of Mount Davis, close to Telegraph Bay on Hong Kong Island’s west coast.
Kumar said last week that the Mount Davis site would help strengthen the school’s links with the business community in Hong Kong and would showcase its ambitions to play a prominent role in the region’s business education:
“It will be a testament to our lasting commitment to educating leaders in the region,” the school’s dean said.
