Asia School of Business

ASB was founded in 2015 by the Central Bank of Malaysia, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), in collaboration with the MIT Sloan School of Management. Our goal is to offer graduate programs at a vibrant and dynamic business school, whose impact and influence in management studies will radiate throughout Asia and emerging economies. The program is taught by senior MIT faculty members who travel regularly to Kuala Lumpur (KL) and an outstanding international team of resident faculty members in KL. Together, the MIT Sloan and ASB resident faculty members offer both Western perspectives and Asian insights.

The pedagogy underlying the ASB curriculum is MIT’s “mind and hand”  (mens et manus) philosophy. During the year, you initially learn business concepts in the classroom and then get directly involved in Action Learning projects. These projects are designed to combine the application of immersive learning and to give our students maximum exposure to real business priorities, trends and strategic trajectories across various industries both domestically and internationally.

ASB’s 12-month MBA program offers you an innovative business school curriculum, unique exposure to an intellectual environment that blends classroom and experience-based learning throughout the course, and multiple post-MBA pathways.
