Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) - Othman Yeop Abdullah Graduate School of Business

UUM Othman Yeop Abdullah Graduate School of Business (OYAGSB) was established as part of the university’s bold effort to continuously provide innovative and effective business management-related education. With the tagline Transforming Leaders for Sustainable Business and Society, OYAGSB aims to produce future business leaders with broad international perspectives, with innovative and effective decision-making capabilities and the ability to execute changes for the betterment of business, society, and the environment. OYAGSB is responsible for postgraduate programmes in business and management and has established a name for itself as a provider of the Master of Business Administration, Doctor of Business Administration, Doctor of Philosophy, and other master’s programmes in management and business. The curricula emphasise not only economic and business issues, but also their impact on society and the environment. It is the hope of the School to produce business managers and leaders who can make a difference. OYAGSB is unique, having shifted away from traditional classroom learning to a system that actively involves students as the centre of learning. The School uses an innovative approach to blended learning, with case studies being the key focus and the involvement of the captains of the industry in the teaching and learning process. Such initiative is to enable students to hone their business and management skills and competencies in analysis, decision making, and problem-solving, in line with the School’s aspirations to nurture them so that they could make meaningful contributions to the organization, society, and the environment. OYAGSB takes pride in its diversity of students and faculty members, who add to the richness of the teaching and learning experiences. Our collaborations with various institutions, local and international, offer a unique opportunity for both our students and academic staff members to develop themselves professionally and personally in ways that support the School’s vision to be one of the best premier graduate business school in Malaysia and the region.
