THE National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School has become the first in Asia to offer a prestigious Master's-level programme in management.

This is the year-long CEMS Master's in International Management (MIM) programme, targeted at those with the potential to take on senior international management positions. The Financial Times' latest annual ranking of business schools rated it the world's best Master's in Management programme this month.

CEMS, previously known as the Community of European Management Schools and International Companies, is a global alliance of multinational companies and leading business schools, including the London School of Economics and the University of St Gallen in Switzerland. The group draws its exclusivity from admitting only the top university from each of its member countries.
