• RMBS MBA & SMU MSA (Data & Analytics) Degree Program

The MBA Program Center is excited to announce the establishment of a double degree MBA program with Singapore Management University’s School of Accountancy in Singapore. Students will spend the first year at RMBS and apply for the program in the second semester.

The MSA program comprises 12 courses taught over two years on a part-time basis or over one year on a full-time basis, commencing in August. It combines the practical use of the latest analytics technology and data sets, as well as real world experience using actual company cases and innovative teaching pedagogy such as the SMU-X. This knowledge of how and where to apply technological expertise in authentic settings will enable our graduates to perform the higher-level tasks that are increasingly expected of accountants.
