About MBSAAS

Established in November 2003, The Manchester Business School Alumni Association of Singapore (MBSAAS) is one of only 2 alumni associations in the world formed specifically for MBS alumnus. All subsequent alumni associations formed after us in their respective localities are UOM alumni associations. 

Come 2023, MBSAAS will be celebrating its 20th anniversary. Looking back over the years, we have had the good fortune of having many alumni who came forward to volunteer their time on the Council to organise academic and technical evening talks, social gatherings, fundraisers, the annual Manchester Day of Action and many other networking events. Many of you also came back to support the Centre in their marketing efforts by speaking to prospective and new students, imparting on them the knowledge, experiences and camaraderie that you yourself have benefitted from, during your MBA journey. 

As our AMBS alumni progresses in their careers, they continue to bring good repute to AMBS in the business and wider community by carrying themselves professionally and competently amongst their colleagues and peers. MBSAAS is very proud of each and every one of our alumni. 

20 years on, MBSAAS has achieved the objectives set out in its constitution and will continue doing so in the years to come:

  • Create networking opportunities with and between alumni 
  • Supporting the marketing efforts of AMBS
  • Improving the status of AMBS through members’ influences in the business and wider community

The value of our MBA is not just the knowledge and insights gained but also, the camaraderie formed during our studies and across batches of alumni that went before us, and those to come. We warmly welcome you to actively participate in MBSAAS activities whenever you can and tap into the Manchester Network.
