S P Jain School of Global Management

"Having joined SP Jain - initially intrigued by the tri-city program - I realised only two years later how much more this institution has truly given me. I graduated from high school as the shy girl who preferred to work in the background and avoided the spotlight as much as possible, but SP Jain completely transformed me into a confident individual who is no longer intimidated by the idea of sharing her opinions with the crowd."

"People often ask why am I studying business when am very much inclined to the arts and social sciences. To be honest, I ask myself that a lot too! Prior to going to SP Jain, I knew that there is a direct connection between creatives and business. Now I am convinced by the limitless possibilities of integrating my creative side with the more analytic and logical business field."

"Two years ago was the start of my life living away from home, afraid of what was to come. However, within 2 weeks of coming to SP Jain, I knew I made the right choice. I never felt alone or homesick because the staff and my friends became family. Here, we get the chance to fulfill our dreams through the different clubs we could form and activities we can participate in. I am definitely looking forward to the next two years in Sydney."

"When I first came to Singapore, I was overwhelmed by this immense city, but as time passed I found myself growing up and taking care of my own life. I've built many new relationships, learned a practical and essential curriculum, and had many opportunities to visit attractions in Singapore through the school's global learning activities. I also got a part-time job which allowed me to cover my living costs here independently, and now I am doing an internship at Equinix- a US company based in Singapore."

"I have not travelled outside Mexico before coming to SP Jain, and in one year I visited Indonesia, Philippines, England and Thailand, on top of being a resident in Singapore. Despite being a highly competitive school, the classes are intensive yet relaxed. One of the activities which I would like to highlight is the Overseas Community Project meant to help a primary school in very poor conditions. It really made a difference for the school and the students, because if there is a trait to success that remains forever, it is kindness."

"SP Jain turned my assumptions of a stereotypical university life upside down. They create a pro-socialising environment from the day you first apply, so there are plenty of chances for you to get to know your new best friend! They also take you around the 3 cities you will be living in, from visiting heritage museums to doing water sports activities. They can make the most simple activities meaningful."

"At SP Jain, you'll learn a lot about business and culture in Singapore, Dubai, and Sydney. The lessons are highly interactive and the professors know everyone by name, which creates a unique atmosphere. The school also organises weekly trips, which can be a company visit or a team-building activity. The chance to obtain a bachelor's degree in 3 different countries (4 if you go on exchange!) is just fantastic."

"Over the past year, I've had a wonderful experience at SP Jain. Amazing professors, responsible school staff and excellent classmates - all of them help me to become a better person. In class, we've had more opportunities to speak up than in high school, enabling us to share ideas with each other via friendly debates; and the frequent presentations allow me to practise my presentation skills, pushing me to go out of my comfort zone."

"After studying in Singapore with students from different nationalities, different ethnicities and different cultures, I realised that I want to work for a multinational company because I am getting more fascinated with globalisation and the interactions that will occur between cultures and societies. And my first academic year taught me that it is not necessarily about learning business in a foreign country, it has more to do with experiences and personal growth. I can barely imagine how much I will change by the time I graduate."

"If life is like riding a bicycle, so is studying at SP Jain. You find you have to keep balancing to keep moving forward. Here, although academic grades are our priority, we have time to have a life besides studying. It has paved a way for us to not only excel in the classroom, but also pushed us to personally grow while identifying our interests, strengths, and passion."

"I chose to apply for SP Jain because I believe that this multinational learning environment can teach me to adapt to the dynamic economy in a flexible manner. I hope to accomplish this by understanding the cultures of both Western and Eastern countries. My first year in Singapore was a great chance for me to explore this green and modern island."

In 2005, the Singapore Government invited SP Jain to establish a campus in Singapore. Advancing our global learning mission, we opened SP Jain Singapore in 2006.

"I chose SP Jain for its diversity. We have the opportunity to meet people from all around the globe, making unique relationships with new friends. I think that this program is a once in a lifetime opportunity, an experience that will teach you in many ways that other programs cannot."

"The nuances of the culture and the local mindset can only be learned and understood if you get to mingle, if you get to be immersed in the culture. SP Jain's tri-city Master of Global Business course allows me to do exactly that. It's definitely great if you can learn about the subject of your interest and see how it is applied in your surroundings, which will naturally be different across Singapore, Dubai, and Sydney."

"I think the best word to describe SP Jain is “opportunity”. Before joining SP Jain, I had no idea what it felt like to live independently and study with international students. But at the end of my first year in Singapore, I became more mature, and most importantly, I discovered the things that I have never thought of before. For example, I became more aware of environmental issues, different cultures, money and time management, and started to ask myself how I can apply my knowledge and creativity to contribute to society."

"I was drawn to SP Jain because of its tri-city model, which gives me a rare chance to catch a glimpse into how things are handled in different parts of the world.  At this moment, I want to learn more about marketing communications, to meet journalists and corporates. I was fortunate to get an internship at SP Jain that allowed me to achieve what I want to do. I believe that all these experiences will nudge me to get out of my comfort zone which is instrumental in developing myself to become a well-rounded person."

"Having completed my first year in the Singapore campus, I believe that SP Jain prepares us for real-life situations, such as how to be a team player with people within a group. We also do numerous presentations, preparing us to become business leaders of the future."

"So far, the experience has been amazing! The global learning activities are experiences that we are going to remember forever as memorable moments that we had with our international friends, like the day that we went dragon-boating and ice skating, or the time we went to Universal Studios theme park in Singapore. Overall, it has been a thrilling experience, and I can't wait for my second year in Dubai!"

"I chose to pursue this tri-city course as I strongly believe that a lot of learning is done when you are constantly adapting. I am currently working at Ogilvy and Mather and have worked at World Wildlife Fund in Dubai. My passion for marketing has made me believe that it is extremely important to convey the right story to the right person at the right time. The magical narration of these stories brings in ungrounded optimism followed by success."
