International Students
The Nanyang MFE Programme is a rigorous programme which challenges and builds the intellect while at the same time preparing participants for practical use of advanced financial techniques in the finance industry. This programme is offered in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University, USA.
We promise that you will be continually challenged and we hope that you will find your time with us enriching and rewarding.
We welcome international students, as they add to the richness and diversity of the intellectual culture. In fact, over 60% of our students come from outside Singapore, including China, India, and other Asian nations.
The International Student Centre’s website has a great deal of information for international students arriving into Singapore for the first time. As you prepare for your way to Singapore, you may wish to check out some of the useful and relevant information here.
