Campus Visit Feedback!

"Through this campus visit, I gained insights into each school's unique characteristics. I realized that choosing a school should be based on defining clear long-term career goals, identifying personal gaps, and selecting an institution that can fill those gaps. Conversations with current students and fellow visitors helped clarify my next steps. Thank you for this valuable opportunity!"

"Thank you for organizing the campus visit tour despite your busy schedule. I joined to determine whether my interest was mere admiration or genuine motivation. While I noticed I was less prepared compared to other participants, I realized this path isn't unrealistic if I can bridge the knowledge gap."

"The campus visit emphasized the importance of setting career goals. Though challenging, I'm committed to developing my career goals and story. Looking forward to your support."

"As a first-time visitor, I was initially nervous, but spending time with ambitious peers in actual schools made the learning experience more tangible. Discussing our backgrounds and aspirations highlighted the importance of having the right mindset for future goals. Hearing perspectives from both admissions, current students, and younger members was invaluable."

Nanyang Technological University MBA

"During the information session, the admissions officer gave us a campus tour where we briefly met current students. After returning to Japan, a student contacted me offering to chat online. This networking opportunity demonstrates a significant benefit of campus visits."

"The university appears strong in sustainability and technology. Their emphasis on CQ suggests it's well-suited for naturally curious individuals, similar to engineers."

"I learned valuable information about the MSc program being more suitable for those interested in finance, including classes at Carnegie Mellon and a 6-month STEM component, which I wasn't previously aware of."

Nanyang Technological University Master in Financial Engineering

[Academic Features]
・Small class sizes ensuring quality education (smaller than SMU)
・Comprehensive curriculum: mathematics, machine learning, computer science
・7-week exchange at Carnegie Mellon University focusing on computer science
・Extensive programming language coverage with emphasis on intensive coding (vs. SMU's focus on Python and C++)
・High post-graduation employment rate in Singapore
・Open to career switchers with clear career goals
・Campus location (1 hour from city) feels manageable

[Personal Impressions]
The program's technical focus suits those with STEM backgrounds. Quiet campus environment enables focused study. Strong emphasis on tech within financial engineering, aiming to develop professionals who can design systems from ground up. Program choice depends on desired technical depth and career goals.

Despite EMBA admissions being absent, MBA curriculum and career support appear competitive with NUS. Tech-integrated courses reflect its technical university status. QS 2023 Asia EMBA ranking of 2nd place indicates high quality.

Singapore Management University MBA

・While ranking lower than other Singapore MBAs, it has strong local recognition and a strategic location in the business district. The program structure allows for internships in the latter half, making it suitable for those seeking multiple corporate internship opportunities.
・Offers courses suitable for entrepreneurs interested in starting businesses in Singapore.
・Despite being a relatively new university, its location near the business district and curriculum incorporating new technologies and thinking approaches is appealing. The CBD location enables good corporate access, suggesting strength in curriculum and local employment prospects.
・A valuable insight came from hearing current students' reasoning for MBA pursuit (Why Singapore? Why full-time MBA despite 10+ years of career?). One student chose it specifically for visa requirements to work locally, highlighting the importance of aligning long-term goals with necessary steps.

Singapore Management University Quantitative Finance

[Learning Points]
・Higher average age (27) compared to NTU, with many students having several years of work experience
・More practical curriculum than NTU, using coding as a problem-solving tool
・Core programming languages: Python and C++
・Notable emphasis on acquiring universal skills applicable across industries, regardless of current trends
・Internships serve as opportunities to develop necessary skills
・Convenient location near financial district for internships
・Conversations with current students helped assess personal skill gaps and development needs

[Impressions]
・Found more relatable career paths and clearer vision for career switching at SMU. Being a business university suggests focus on developing talent for Singapore's business sector.
・Programming is treated as a problem-solving tool with practical curriculum (distinct from NTU). Location facilitates networking with professionals, offering more diverse connections than NTU.
・Course differentiation: MAF (Master of Applied Finance) suits event-driven activist and hedge fund careers, while MQF is better for learning quantitative investment analysis. Recognized need to clarify career goals and pathways.

National University of Singapore MBA

・Longer program duration compared to other Singapore MBAs, with flexibility to change programs and connections to overseas MBAs. Diverse industry representation enables broad networking. Suitable for those wanting time to carefully consider career choices.
・Current student insights valuable: Class participation is monitored but quality less emphasized than expected. Japanese students present in significant numbers, sometimes forming exclusive groups in teamwork (success depends on individual effort).
・As a national university, strong focus on fundamental curriculum. Learning structure similar to other schools: pre-reading PDF materials, lectures, and group work.
・Better location than Nanyang (closer to CBD) and stronger reputation makes corporate visits and career consultations more accessible ・advantageous for master's students.

INSEAD MBA

・Learned from current students that INSEAD graduates often become country heads at multinational companies. Worth considering if targeting activist funds with strong INSEAD presence.
・While consulting firms actively recruit and hold campus events, admission staff noted financial sector placements are common due to timing of job offers. Suggests connections aren't exclusively strong with consulting.
・More diverse international student body compared to other Singapore MBA programs, with strong European representation.
・As an established European institution, curriculum highly regarded with robust post-graduation learning support.
・EMBA benefits: deeper discussions due to experienced cohort, valuable corporate networking opportunities.
・Campus visit attracted 20+ EMBA prospects among 50+ total visitors, reinforcing INSEAD's position as Singapore's leading business school.

Overall Impressions of Singapore

・Impressed by efficient, simplified procedures compared to Japan
・Weather manageable despite sudden rains; comfortable for those sensitive to cold
・Large Asian population within multicultural society creates welcoming environment
