The growth engine of the 21st century is Asia. With Asia’s rapid development, this results in an increase in the complexity of doing business in a region with substantial economics, business, cultural, institutional and socio-political differences. Accordingly, there is a growing need for pan-Asian MBA programme that offers an in-depth understanding on theory and practice of business in Asia.

Connection to Asia Business Community

Students will start their first semester in Shanghai, spend their second semester in Seoul and finish their last semester in Singapore. Students not only benefit from the range of resources and student development activities in the three universities and their networks, they will also enjoy three times the career opportunities. With two thirds of the cohort from countries outside of Korea, everyone should speak English in class, team meetings and social activities. In addition, English, Korean and Chinese language classes are offered.

Dual degree and one certificate

Upon completion of the program, students will be awarded two MBA degrees-a unique attraction of the S3 Asia MBA program.
