SMU postgraduate student Neil Bowyer who’s currently pursuing a part-time Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) programme, believes that the course has given him the opportunity to learn and sharpen his skills as well as to study at some of the best business schools including the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania in the US and the Indian School of Business in Hyderabad, India. While he was initially worried that the course would be highly academic, Mr Bowyer has been pleasantly surprised. The faculty was able to build on its students’ knowledge and experience to add structure, insights and different perspectives. Mr Bowyer, who’s currently the Chief Bancassurance Officer at Manulife Singapore said, “SMU has done a good job in building a group of experienced and diverse students in this EMBA programme.”
