Student life

Students from over 100 countries had studied in NUS and of which more than 15 nationalities were represented in the MSBA programme. (Note: currently approximately 70% of the MSBA students are international and more than 20% of the university’s population is international).

There are various accommodations made available to students. However, as the student population is also large, graduate students pursuing NUS MSBA are advised to source for accommodation on their own. In addition, they may also seek the advice from the alumni community or the Office of Student Affairs.

Within the Masters of Science in Business Analytics programme , there are also student volunteers who form the Business Analytics Club and act as the cohort’s representatives to voice out any concerns pertaining to academic and curriculum, and at the same time organize activities for bonding and staying connected such as hiking, badminton and also fireside chat with the alumni or industrial partners.
