Singapore MBA schools benefit from financial crisis

Recently, the news highlighted that Master of Business Administration ("MBA") schools in Singapore are benefited from the recent financial turmoil. At the brink of the crisis, more and more people enrolled into business school, and peruse master program as an personal improvement and resume enhancement.

In Singapore there are a few business schools offer MBA programme, namely: Nanyang Business School, National University of Singapore, Insead Singapore, Singapore Management University, University of Chicago Graduate Schoold of Business, etc.

The increase could probably explained by the competitive labours markets, where decreasing number of work forces are required in Singapore. Hence, we will see the application number to surge. On the other hand, it will be getting tougher to secure a seat in MBA school, given the fact that the applications has increased. For instance: The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, which opened a Singapore campus in 2000, has seen a surge in demand, too. Now only one in three applicants lands a place on its programme.(Quoted from efinancialcareers.sg)
