MBA Program Review

Experience during the program

I joined the NTU MBA program after 4 years of work experience in Market research.

My intention behind joining this program was to get rid of some stagnation with respect to work. I believed that an MBA program would lead to new experiences and greater career opportunities.
The academic aspect of the program is fairly hectic, given that it is a one-year course. Juggling career development with classes and events requires a high level of time management.
The cohort is active and not overly competitive. It is indeed a great experience to listen to multiple viewpoints during class discussions.
NTU is a really big campus with multiple schools spread across. Hence if you want to interact and build connections with the Tech or Engineering schools you need to be proactive.
The Career Development office helps students with resumes, networking events and coaching.

For future applicants: One advice would be to be realistic about the extent of future track changes. There are some radical function and industry shifts that might not be possible with a one year program. It is important to assess the scale of your shift before fixating on it.
