Student voices
What the journey feels like.
The immersion changed how I think about business. Sitting in forums abroad and presenting to real companies gave me confidence no lecture could.
The certifications and live projects made my profile stand out. By placements, I had delivered work and a global network to show for it.
Mentors treated us like future colleagues. The career-readiness track meant interviews felt like conversations I was ready for.

Frequently asked questions
A regular MBA centres on academics. Here your MBA is layered with the Global Industry Integrated Programme (GIIP) — industry projects, 30+ certifications, three internships and a career-readiness track — and the Global Immersion Programme (GIP) for international exposure. You graduate with a degree plus a portfolio, certifications and a global network.
Students can earn 30+ certifications and memberships across the programme — including pathways with UNICEF (supported by Microsoft), the United Nations Academy and UNITAR, UNESCO/UNSDG, Quest Alliance's 21st-century skills (supported by IBM, Bank of America, UNFPA and Infosys), Reskills Malaysia and Commonwealth networks.
The programme prepares you for three internships — an international remote project, plus summer and winter internships — alongside live and research projects, supported by a dedicated placement-assistance track.
The Global Immersion Programme (an academic international trip) is an included, core part of the experience and we encourage every student to take part. On-campus and India-based global engagement options also run throughout the year.
The programme delivery and included immersion are part of your enrolment. Travel, registration and logistics for international events, optional certifications and any physical materials are additional. Submit the application form and our admissions team will share a current breakdown.
Recent immersion destinations include Malaysia, Singapore and the UAE, with additional Commonwealth destinations added each intake. Destinations for your cohort are confirmed during the programme.
