Our deep-rooted philosophy is to offer our students relevant education. This requires us to have the very latest cutting-edge curriculum and taught by faculty who are ‘pracademics’. Given the stiff competition, we always have to be on our toes and hence we have recently launched a new platform for online education, using very sophisticated technology for the first time in Asia-Pacific. We call this Engaged Learning Online or ELO. It will change the way students would do their EMBA going forward.”
