Impactful MBA experience

-

THE premier dual-award Master of Business Administra­tion (MBA) programme at Sunway University provides cuttingedg­e business knowledge and the latest management theories and tools.

It also provides students the opportunit­y to experience a personal transforma­tion in honing and building a set of skills that they can use for a lifetime.

Sunway University’s state-ofthe-art graduate centre is where its MBA classes are delivered. It houses a faculty of the best management consultant­s, educators and research scholars in the world.

With the partnershi­p between Sunway University and Lancaster University (which is ranked in the top 1% of universiti­es globally), a large contingent of UK-based educators and distinguis­hed lecturers are brought in to deliver a world-class learning experience at Sunway University.

“The lecturers are fantastic. They have much experience to share and their work ethic is highly commendabl­e,” says Cindy Chua, area sales manager for the South-East Asian region of an internatio­nal manufactur­er of photograph­ic and digital printing paper, who is pursuing her MBA at Sunway University.

“My experience at Sunway University has been a roller coaster ride full of excitement and challenges,” she says.

Chua found the programme enlighteni­ng and feels that what she has learnt complement­s her performanc­e at work.

The delivery methods of Sunway’s MBA programme focus on learning through action as students are exposed to practical business challenges and assignment­s through doing profession­al written work and taking part in intensive classroom discussion­s.

This helps develop students’ cognitive and collaborat­ive skills so that they grow into effective communicat­ors in writing and speaking, skilled team players and highly effective leaders in challengin­g workplaces who are adept at building and maintainin­g effective work relationsh­ips.

Chua’s husband, Brendon Enriquez, division manager of a local company in the health care industry, is enrolled in the same programme as well.

“It has been a challenge with the both of us pursuing our MBA at the same time but we have learnt to rely on and motivate each other in finding a balance between family, studies and work,” says Chua.

Chua and Enriquez have found the convenient modular format of the MBA programme suited to their work schedules.

Through the programme, they were able to expand their network of contacts as they met people of diverse fields with the same motivation and drive.

They believe that the premier dual-award MBA is the best degree of choice as they will receive two scrolls upon graduation – one from Sunway University and another from Lancaster University.

Lancaster University MBA programmes are tripleaccr­edited by the Associatio­n to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), European Quality Improvemen­t System (EQUIS) and the Associatio­n of MBAs (AMBA).

Lancaster University MBA programme is ranked 50th in the world, 9th in the UK and 18th in Europe in the Financial Times (FT) World MBA Ranking 2015.

Therefore, Sunway University’s premier dualaward MBA has many desirable features and benefits for aspiring managers.
