How this B-school has an advantage when competing for global jobs

Successful placements for the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) students at the SP Jain School of Global Management (SP Jain Global), a Forbes #12 ranked business school, is off to a great start. Eighty per cent of those who stayed back in Australia have secured jobs at top recruiters like Walsh Bay Partners, Frost & Sullivan, ING Australia, bdhSterling, Adzuna, OMD Australia, Metcash, Bayton Group, Star Beta and BSI. Students also received offers from the US, Dubai, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and Colombia. Finance, media and marketing sectors accounted for 94 per cent of overall offers, followed by general management and consulting.

Globally intelligent citizens Dr Vaidyanathan “Vaidy” Jayaraman, Dean – Undergraduate Programs at SP Jain, attributes this success to the school’s unique multi-city model. “Our students have a distinct advantage when it comes to competing for global jobs. Having lived, studied and interned in not one but a minimum of three cities—Singapore (or Mumbai), Dubai and Sydney—they graduate as globally intelligent citizens and have the sort of skills that make them very relevant and attractive to leading companies in Australia and around the world,” shares Dean Vaidy.

“It comes as no surprise to us that most students have chosen to start their careers in Australia. On completing the program, SP Jain students can try to apply for a two-year unrestricted Post Study Work Rights Visa and many take up this opportunity,” he adds. Multi-city degree SP Jain launched the BBA program in 2010, becoming one of the first business schools in the world to offer a multi-city undergraduate program.

“Study abroad programs have been around for many years now, but the concept of a multi-city bachelor’s program was practically unheard of back when we launched the BBA. We have since graduated over 750 students who have gone on to do very well in their global careers, and that is why today, companies believe in our model,” shares Nitish Jain, President of the school.

SP Jain’s BBA is a four-year multi-city program accredited by Australia’s Tertiary Education Quality & Standards Agency (TEQSA). Students travel to Singapore/Mumbai for Year 1, Dubai for Year 2 and Sydney for Years 3 and 4, graduating with an Australian degree. The course has always attracted high-quality students across the world. The latest graduating class includes students from the US, Austria, Brazil, India, China, Morocco, Mauritius and Korea.
