This not only helps to acquire a global perspective, but also develops the ability to survive, learn and grow in an unfamiliar locale. Past students have gone through immersion in Nanjing, Beijing and Shanghai in China.

    Industry–Linked MBA: NU’s collaborating industries play a key role in the design and conduct program and internship. Many unique features of this MBA are possible because of the support provided by the industry partners.

As mentors share their experience with students through scheduled interactions, students discover top-level decision-making perspectives, the nuances of real-life corporate excellence and accelerate their own integration into industry. This is a truly unique initiative that has been successfully implemented for the last 4 years.

    True-to-life projects- The 3 term-length projects in the program are drawn from real-life situations, including one drawn from the NGO space. The emphasis on projects and 8-week internship serves to make the student industry-ready.
