Professor Jean-Noël Ezingeard, vice chancellor of the University of Roehampton, highlighted the MBA’s part-time, blended delivery model at Aventis, which allows students to attend classes in person or via Zoom. This flexibility, he noted, makes it ideal for professionals seeking to enhance their skills without pausing their careers.
“The programme offers students the opportunity to study in a flexible way alongside their career, making this a truly accessible programme that also provides the academic rigour to push the best of Singapore’s professionals,” he said.
Adding to its current offerings of Masters in Global HR Management, Masters in Global Financial Management and Masters in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy, Aventis recently introduced three new postgraduate degree programmes from the University of Roehampton: The MBA in Healthcare Management, the Master of Science in Psychological Science, and the Master of Science in Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management.
The University of Roehampton ranks among the top 15 per cent of young universities globally, according to the 2024 Times Higher Education Young University Rankings. It is also among the top 10 universities in the United Kingdom for postgraduate student satisfaction, as noted by the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey 2023, and received a Silver award in the 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework.
Furthermore, the Roehampton MBA is accredited by the UK’s Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education and the global Chartered Management Institute.
For Ms Cheryl Cheng, a digital business and strategy lead at DBS Bank who graduated in 2023, the Roehampton MBA’s hybrid delivery was key. The flexibility to attend weekend classes in person or online allows professionals like her to balance their studies with demanding work schedules. “I also like that it is 100 per cent coursework-based – there’s no cramming for exams, which just isn’t feasible with my schedule,” she noted.
Mr Chew highlighted another benefit of the coursework-focused programme: In class discussions, students gain in-depth knowledge through exposure to a diverse range of perspectives from fellow working professionals.
“Otherwise, my view of effective organisational structures would be limited to my company,” he explained. “Interacting with classmates across various industries has expanded my understanding and enabled me to compare different structures meaningfully. This is a far richer learning experience than memorisation and rote-learning.”
