Chat with MSc’s participants – Ask them about campus life, work experiences and more! 

Curious about student life and the authentic experiences of our participants in Nanyang Business School (NBS) but don’t know where to start?

With our newest platform, Unibuddy, it’s even easier to find out all about NBS by having conversations with our Unibuddies, the student ambassadors from our current Specialised Masters cohort and get all your questions answered. Don’t miss this chance to connect with our friendly and knowledgeable Unibuddies!

Here are three popular questions you can expect to have answered:

 

1. What does it take to get into NBS?

You’re wondering if you have the right qualifications to apply for a particular NBS programme, or you may be a prospective participant from a different field and need guidance on making a huge change.

Every NBS student is unique yet has a wealth of similar experiences to share. Our -chat feature offers a brief overview of each Unibuddy’s background so you can approach the one who is most relevant to your profile.

For example, Cieci from Singapore studied English Literature before enrolling in the MSc Marketing Science programme. Ye Ang from Malaysia was trained in chemical engineering before joining the MSc Financial Engineering programme. Reach out to Unibuddies like them on how they approached their career transitions and preparations for applications and interviews.

 

2. What is campus life like?

You’re wondering about the curriculum and classroom setting, whether you can juggle work, life and studies and if there is even time to have fun.

Our Unibuddies come from all over the world and have diverse priorities and interests. They are ready to share their experiences on campus and what a global classroom setting entails.

Ishmita (MSc Business Analytics) from India enjoys painting and manages her time to fit her hobbies into her busy school life. Sihua (MSc Accounting) from China loves travelling and will be able to share her perspectives on opportunities in Southeast Asia. Kawintra (MSc Marketing Science) from Thailand enjoys café hopping, so chat with her to find out the good places in Singapore to have a cuppa.

Whether it’s about life in NBS or Singapore, each Unibuddy has their own take on it, and you can now hear directly from them about the different possibilities.

 

3. How does NBS fit into future career plans?

Embarking on a master’s degree is critical in advancing one’s career. Many have chosen to enroll in an NBS programme to enter hot fields like data analytics or widen their career opportunities in Southeast Asia, the fastest-growing consumer market today.

Mark has chosen the MSc Business Analytics programme as part of his plan to become a data scientist in Singapore. Hilary from Canada and in the MSc Marketing Science programme, is keen on digital marketing opportunities in the region.

Chat with them on why they chose NBS and Singapore, and the opportunities, and support they receive here that are helping them meet their career goals.
