Applicants must have a strong academic record in any undergraduate field from a reputable academic institution.

Applicants must have a minimum of two years full-time post-undergraduate work experience.

All applicants are required to take either the GMAT or GRE exam, regardless of their academic or professional background. As we consider candidates’ profile holistically, a high score does not guarantee admission, and a lower score may not eliminate a candidate. Scores may be self-reported; however, should you receive an offer of admission, official scores will then be requested for verification. You are required to indicate your GMAT/GRE and TOEFL / IELTS results in the application portal under the “Other Tests” section. Your official score report must be sent to the NUS Business School directly. GMAT codes are DRT-MK-35 (Full Time MBA) or DRT-MK-59 (Part Time MBA). GRE DI code is 7539.

Applicants whose undergraduate degree was not taught exclusively in English are required to submit TOEFL / IELTS scores. The TOEFL code for NUS is 9082 Department Code 02. The IELTS code for NUS is 0677. Visit TOEFL or IELTS for more information.

– TOEFL – Minimum score of 100 for internet-based test.
– IELTS – Minimum score of 7.0.

Two professional referee reports are required to complete your application. The referees can be your current employer, previous employer or corporate client, who would be able to provide an accurate professional evaluation for you. Only referee reports submitted via the MBA admissions portal using the online referee template will be considered. The online referee form has a validity period of two weeks upon your initiation to your referee. Both referee reports have to be submitted within the application deadlines for the application to be considered complete.

Short-listed applicants will be interviewed and may be required to take further evaluation tests if deemed necessary.
