Why It Matters

The testimony underscores how a top regional business school can deliver both practical analytical skills and a durable professional network that directly translate into career advancement, reinforcing NUS’s appeal for international students weighing ROI and employability.

Summary

Quay, an NUS Business School alumnus from a decade ago, said he chose NUS for its regional reputation, safety, strong ROI and proximity to home. He credits the program not just for lectures but for practical, transferable skills—handling ambiguity, breaking down complex problems, and data-driven analysis—that prepared him for his role at The Boston Consulting Group in Vietnam. Quay also emphasized the enduring value of the diverse peer network he built at NUS. He recommends the school to prospective Vietnamese students without reservation.
