Global Inquiry, Local Heart
In just 12 months, the Asia School of Business MBA, built in collaboration with MIT Sloan, transforms ambitious professionals into agile global leaders ready to make an impact across industries and borders.
Through a dynamic blend of rigorous academics, immersive Action Learning, and global exposure, you’ll gain the skills, confidence, and adaptability to lead in a rapidly evolving world.
Our full-time MBA combines a world-class core curriculum taught by Asia School of Business and MIT Sloan faculty with hands-on Action Learning projects that place you inside organizations across Asia and beyond. Your journey culminates with a three-week MIT Sloan Immersion in Cambridge, Massachusetts — an experience that brings together the best of Asia and the U.S. in one transformative program.
At Asia School of Business, we believe in bridging worlds: we want the world to learn about Asia and Asia to learn from the world. Whether you choose to build your career in Asia or return home to lead globally, your Asia School of Business journey will equip you with a deep, authentic understanding of Asia’s business landscape and a global perspective shaped by MIT’s innovation-driven ethos.
Breaking Down Silos: Mastering Cross-Functional Leadership
The Integrated Management Lab is Asia School of Business’s answer to the complexity of modern business leadership. Traditional MBA programs separate learning into disciplines — finance here, marketing there — but real problems rarely fit into neat boxes.
In this immersive lab, you’ll tackle an interdisciplinary challenge, such as helping a multinational company solve a sustainability issue that touches finance, operations, human resources, and strategy simultaneously. Each day you will approach the problem through a different lens, guided by expert faculty, before integrating your findings into a comprehensive, actionable solution presented to actual corporate leaders.
This experience develops your ability to think holistically, synthesize diverse perspectives, and lead cross-functional teams, capabilities essential for the next generation of business leaders.
Learning by Doing: Real-World Impact from Day One
At Asia School of Business, your MBA journey is anchored in real business challenges — not hypothetical cases. From the very start, you will step into immersive projects that span across Southeast Asia and the world. With over 520 Action Learning projects completed in 37 countries, our students have partnered with household names like Google, Coca-Cola, and Samsung, as well as dynamic startups.
You’ll spend weeks working directly with organizations, diagnosing complex problems, gathering data firsthand, and crafting solutions alongside industry leaders. This intense, hands-on experience builds your leadership muscles, teaches you to navigate ambiguity, and grounds your learning in practical relevance.
The Action Learning pillar ensures you graduate not just with knowledge, but with the confidence and skills to deliver real-world impact immediately.
Unlocking Growth: Developing Resilience and Adaptive Leadership
The greatest leadership transformations happen within. Asia School of Business’s Mindset Lab is a unique program rooted in behavioral science that supports you in identifying and overcoming your limiting beliefs. Whether it’s anxiety over quantitative coursework, fear of public speaking, or doubts about your influence, this pillar provides a safe, supportive environment for growth.
You’ll engage in reflection, interactive workshops, and receive personalized executive coaching to cultivate a growth mindset — the understanding that skills and intelligence can be developed through effort and persistence.
This mindset reshapes how you respond to challenges and setbacks, helping you emerge from the program with greater self-awareness, confidence, and emotional agility — qualities that empower you to lead with authenticity and impact.
Global Exposure: Deep Integration into MIT Sloan’s Innovation Ecosystem
A defining highlight of the Asia School of Business MBA is the three-week MIT Sloan Immersion in Boston. This is not a brief exchange; it is an all-in academic and cultural experience where you become a visiting student at one of the world’s most prestigious business schools.
You’ll attend advanced classes on the latest trends in AI, fintech, and system dynamics, engage with pioneering researchers, and access MIT’s rich innovation ecosystem, including exclusive tours like a behind-the-scenes look at a nuclear fusion startup developing next-generation energy solutions.
You’ll also join Sloan’s vibrant student clubs, connect with peers from around the world, and broaden your global network. This immersion equips you with world-class knowledge and a broadened perspective, making you a leader ready to innovate and compete at the highest international levels.
