Is NTU (Nanyang Business School) worth it? 11 Sep 2025, 04:28

Most of the posts here are about M7 or T15 programs in the US. While those are great, the financial burden and current job market uncertainty make me hesitant to pursue that route. I'm a Product Manager aiming to stay in tech and have been exploring MBA options outside the US/Europe. NTU (Nanyang Business School) came up as a strong contender - it's ranked #22 by FT and often considered one of the best in Asia. I have no issues working in Singapore/ the Middle East (though I've heard that the work culture is not the best so would like to get some insight on that too).

I'd love to know the following:

1. Is the experience and investment worth it?

2. What are the general career outcomes? If I want to continue in Product Management or a similar tech domain, will NTU be ideal for me?

3. What's considered a competitive score for admissions to NTU? I couldn't find much on GMAT Club or their official site. (My current GRE score is 323)

Hey! I think NTU’s Nanyang MBA could be a really good fit for your goals, especially if you’re looking to stay in tech and want a strong regional program without the huge US/Europe costs.
Experience & Investment:

From what I have seen, the program offers a solid ROI. Alumni often report career growth and salary increases, and the 1-year format keeps opportunity cost relatively low. The alumni network is strong across Asia, which helps if you want to work in Singapore, the Middle East
Career Outcomes in Tech/Product:

Many grads go into tech roles, including product management, at well-known companies.
Admissions/GRE:

NTU doesn’t list strict cutoffs, but a GMAT 600+ or GRE 320–325+ is generally competitive. Your 323 GRE is right in that range, so you’re in a good spot.
Work Culture:

Singapore companies are usually professional, organized, and collaborative. Middle East work culture can vary widely—some places are fast-paced
Bottom line: NTU is a solid option for staying in tech while minimizing costs and getting a regional network. If you pair it with strong internships or projects, it can open a lot of doors in Singapore/Asia.
