What is this programme about?
The Nanyang Fellows Programme was launched in 1998 by Dr Tony Tan. Since then courses are conducted annually with an optimum cohort of around 20-30 students. The small size enhances learning and interaction on a personal level.
In this 12-month full-time programme, the Nanyang Fellow will spend ten and a half months at the Nanyang Business School in Singapore, three weeks at MIT’s Sloan School of Management in Boston and two weeks in Wharton, University of Pennsylvania. The programme also includes a compulsory Business Study Mission (BSM) in a carefully selected country around the world. The programme also includes a Leadership Seminar Series where you will gain privileged insights from the experiences of top business and government leaders through closed-door dialogues.

"The Nanyang Fellow's Programme brings together creative minds to share and develop practical skills and character traits necessary to lead in today's globalised world. I enjoyed the dialogue with your Fellows, and hope that the session allowed an understanding of how the military systemically develops its leaders, and the relevance of the SAF leadership competency model on public as well as private sector leadership."
