Message from the Director of Studies

Students often ask me about the benefits of doing an MBA. While there are many reasons, and these do vary according to your background and goals, I always highlight the following.

The first is money. There is enough evidence that confirms that education pays, and that having an MBA can improve your salary over time. Secondly, having an MBA improves your career opportunities. It raises your profile with existing and potential employers.

An MBA provides you with new skills and knowledge. The Concordia MBA is designed to improve your technical and analytical skills, providing a holistic perspective of the business world. It equips you with the analytical frameworks to address real-world business problems and improves your business communication skills , which are a pre-requisite for virtually any management position.

Just ask yourself this simple question – Will having an MBS be an advantage to where I want to be in five years? The resounding answer is yes!

Indeed, with the country’s high employment rate, financial and political stability, great urban infrastructure, quality of life, high healthcare standards, and a sense of safety and security, studying Singapore has never been so attractive.

Fee Protection Under The Insurance Scheme (FPS Insurance Scheme)

The Fee Protection Scheme (FPS) serves to protect students’ fees in the event a private education institution is unable to continue operations due to insolvency, and/or regulatory closure. The FPS also protects students, if the private education institution fails to pay penalties or return fees to the students arising from judgment made against it by the Singapore courts. The FPS is applicable to all students regardless of nationality and the type of passes held by the students, i.e. dependent’s pass, student’s pass, work permit etc.

Visit www.LSBF.edu.sg/Fee-Protection-Scheme for more information.

LSBF has appointed AXA Insurance as the medical insurance provider. It is compulsory for all students to have medical insurance coverage for their hospitalisation and related medical treatments throughout their course duration.

Singapore citizens, permanent citizens and international students (not on the Student Pass) and students under corporate sponsorship or corporate agreement between the private education institution and their sponsor organisations can be exempted from the medical insurance scheme if they can show proof that they are already covered by their own medical insurance.
