Nanyang Fellows programme
The Nanyang Fellows programme was launched in 1998 by Dr Tony Tan. Since then courses are conducted annually with an optimum cohort of around 20-30 students. The small size enhances learning and interaction on a personal level.

In this 12-month full-time programme, the Nanyang Fellows will spend ten and a half months at the Nanyang Business School in Singapore, three weeks at MIT’s Sloan School of Management in Boston and two weeks in Wharton, University of Pennsylvania. The programme also includes a compulsory Business Study Mission (BSM) in a carefully selected country around the world. The programme also includes a Leadership Seminar Series where you will gain privileged insights from the experiences of top business and government leaders through closed-door dialogues.

The Nanyang Fellows Programme is a highly prestigious and first-rate MBA programme. The programme will be suited for individuals who have strong talent and leadership potential that makes them stand out in their organization.

The design of this programme is unique and distinctive as follows:


 * An elite MBA programme that draws from the 3 top business schools in the world (NBS, MIT Sloan & Wharton)
 * Cutting-edged residential programmes: Sustainability in MIT Sloan; Leadership & Finance in Wharton
 * Learn and immerse in the US business environment and culture
 * Experience and study the business environment and culture of a 3rd country (BSM)
 * Gain privileged insights and wisdom from top Asian and international CEOs and leaders (Leadership Seminar Series)
 * Build lasting friendships with other bright and dynamic leaders like yourself, including those from emerging economies
 * Unleash and extend your leadership potential

Targeted Participants

The Nanyang Fellows Programme is crafted specially for those preparing for the pinnacle of leadership in their organisations.

Here is the typical Nanyang Fellow profile:


 * Capable and highly-talented mid-career executive (mostly in their mid-30s or early 40s)
 * Has at least 8 years of management or senior professional experience
 * Personally endorsed by their CEO (or equivalent)
 * Fully or partially sponsored by their organizations
 * From ASEAN, Asia or other parts of the world

Programme Structure

The Nanyang Fellows Programme spans a period of 12 months, comprising of the following:


 * Three 13-week trimesters in Singapore.
 * A week-long Overseas Business Study Mission
 * A 5-week MIT Sloan and Wharton Residential Programme

Overseas Business Study Mission

(Includes pre-trip speaker series and dissertation) The objectives of the BSM are to enrich the Nanyang Fellow’s broad knowledge of global developments via learning from a focused classroom study and an overseas field trip while working on their MBA dissertations. The rationale for the overseas trip is to expose the Nanyang Fellow to the cultural, social, political and business dynamics that form the larger regional or international platform for competitive players in the marketplace. The BSM is intended to provide the Nanyang Fellow with an opportunity to study a specific topic/issue or conduct a case study in the selected country. Through seminars, research and the BSM exposure, they will study particular segments of business and industry and corporate and government entities to gain insights and learn relevant best practices. The learning benefits include the development of critical thinking, understanding and appreciation of new cultural and social environments and integration of the learning experiences within the larger Nanyang Fellows MBA programme. Previous Nanyang Fellows have completed Business Study Missions in Silicon Valley, New York, London, Washington, Seattle, Brussels, Cambridge, Helsinki, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Tokyo, Sydney, Berlin and Munich, to name a few business destinations.

MIT Sloan & Wharton Residential Programme

As Nanyang Fellows, students will spend 3 intensive weeks at MIT’s Sloan School in Boston and 2 weeks in Wharton, University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia for the final phase of the programme. There, students will learn directly from world-renowned faculty members.

This MIT Sloan and Wharton Residential Programme go beyond the usual MBA and covers advanced concepts, practical tools and skills needed to lead effectively in today’s knowledge-based global economy. Through a combination of lectures, case studies and group discussions, MIT Sloan’s focus will be on sustainability while Wharton’s focus will be on leadership and finance.

In these 5 weeks, Nanyang Fellows will obtain not only cutting-edge knowledge from two of the most prestigious universities in America, but also an unforgettable snapshot of American culture and way of life.
