Introduction

Established in 2015 by the Central Bank of Malaysia in collaboration with MIT Sloan, the Asia School of Business (ASB) is committed to developing transformative and principled leaders who will create a positive impact in the emerging world and beyond. ASB does Action Learning, unlike any other school. Featuring MIT Sloan's Action Learning pedagogy, we strongly believe that effective learning happens only when combining the mind, hand and heart. A third of our MBA curriculum is dedicated to on-site Action Learning projects with our corporate host partners throughout Asia and beyond. This intensity in experiential learning makes us global innovators in Action Learning.

The ASB MBA program equips you with the skills and knowledge to thrive in today's interconnected business landscape. This program can certainly accelerate your personal development and business acumen, paving the way for career growth and opening doors to exciting opportunities in diverse industries and sectors.

Financial Aid for Executive MBA

The EMBA program is an investment in your career. We see this investment as a partnership between you, your employer, and the Asia School of Business. While ASB does not directly provide financial aid, we offer support and guidance throughout your EMBA journey.

We are happy to meet with your company’s HR Team to discuss the program, the benefits, and what can be gained by sponsoring a student.

Time Off of Work
The Executive MBA Program requires approximately 2-3 weeks off per semester, across 4 semesters, in addition to weekend coursework. A ll employers must agree to let you out of the office during residency weeks. Some will agree to give you additional time off without taking it out of leave. Others request that their employees use some or all of their annual leave to complete the program.

Financial Support
Financial support may include full or partial sponsorships from your employer. It is not uncommon for some larger companies to fully sponsor their employees. When sponsorship occurs, it is not uncommon to be bonded.

Students usually use some combination of the following to finance their degree:
