School

Location

NUS Business School is based in the Mochtar Riady Building in Singapore, a nine-story building with modern classrooms, meeting rooms, study spaces, dining areas, a café, and an alumni lounge.

With its orderly city planning, developed economy, warm climate, and wide range of job opportunities, it’s no wonder Singapore continues to be an attractive study destination. While it has a population of just 5.5 million (approximately), Singapore welcomes a whopping 50,000 international students to the country every year. It is also a major financial hub where East meets West, home to large global companies such as DBS Bank, Singapore Airlines, Singtel, and Wilmar International.
