Hi All,
I was recently accepted to the University of Tsukuba’s MBA program for 2015. Tsukuba is a national university with a solid reputation in Japan, but essentially no brand value outside of Japan.
I am American, and have worked in Japan for the past 8 years in corporate communications. I speak, read and write Japanese, so post-graduation so job prospects are decent. However, I am quite sick of working in corporate Japan, and would really like to relocate to either the US or Singapore for a few years. (my fiancé, who also has a career in Japan, is Singaporean, so our options are fairly open)
I was considering programs outside of Japan for a while, but the weak yen has devalued my savings by about 30%, making schools in other regions even more costly. The current exchange rate is killing me.
Looking at schools in Asia, I would really prefer to set my sights high and go for NUS. NUS has far better name recognition than any of the Japanese business schools, and the education really seems top-notch.
I do not want to take on student loans, so the NUS MBA program is out of the question, but the MIM, Masters in Management is very appealing, as it is shorter and costs much less. I am concerned that I may be considered too old/overqualified since I am in my 30s and have been working overseas for close to a decade.
My question is how will an Msc in management be viewed compared to an MBA? And, given the NUS reputation, would I be better off packing my bags for Singapore regardless of the degree type?
Any advice from NUS applicants or perspective students in SG?

If you want to relocate to singapore, MBA from NUS will give you an edge to find a job here.
I would not recommend you to take the Master in Management course. The course are targeted for fresh graduate and not as well received to the local employers.
