BBA September 2019 cohort begins their global journey in Singapore

 

SP Jain School of Global Management’s Singapore campus proudly welcomed 146 students from over 22 countries to the September 2019 cohort of the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program.

The undergraduate students, or Jaguars as we call them, have come together to embark on an exciting journey with SP Jain, to learn and live in three different megacities of the world —Singapore, Dubai and Sydney — and become independent global business leaders. The Jaguars will not only interact with people from different backgrounds but also understand the global nature of business in the most compelling way – through actual exposure to diverse cultures, political beliefs, traditions and technological innovations.

The event saw a high-energy cultural performance – the Lion Dance
