AS A PhD student at Oxford University, Cleo Choong spent most of her waking hours at the lab, researching ways to help heal damaged bones with biodegradable material.
When she returned to Singapore, the bioengineering graduate wanted to market her work, but didn’t know where to start.
‘I was lacking skills in areas like finance and management,’ said Dr Choong, 29.
So, she enrolled in the executive MBA programme at at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in July 2007.
Dr Choong represents a new breed of student that the university’s Nanyang Business School is trying to attract.
Spring Singapore chairman Philip Yeo, who helms the school’s advisory board, said that many fresh graduates in science and engineering had a strong technical grounding.
However, they lacked equally important skills in other areas, such as training, managing and retaining staff, for example.
‘We want future technical people to become CEOs of start-ups,’ he said, calling MBA training a necessity, not a luxury.
