Farmleigh Fellowship applications being accepted for Asian business studies
By Noreen Bowden | September 30, 2010
I wrote about this Asian fellowship when it was first announced. Now is the time to apply, if you’re a graduate interested in spending a a year studying for a Master’s in Asian Business. It’s a fascinating innovation involving members of the Irish business community based overseas, and it’s an outgrowth of last year’s Global Irish Economic Forum at Farmleigh.
Here’s the suss, sent to me by Donagh Fitzgerald of the Farmleigh Fellowship Team.
The Farmleigh Fellowship
The Farmleigh Fellowship is an innovative and exciting scholarship programme linking Ireland and Asia. We are looking for outstanding individuals with drive and energy to place on a twelve month work-study programme with three months at UCC (School of Asian Studies) in Ireland, four months at NTU (Nanyang Business School) in Singapore (whose MBA programme is ranked No. 3 in Asia-Pacific.) and five months at selected Farmleigh Companies across Asia.
Your time will be split between generating an actionable Asian business development plan for your sponsoring Farmleigh Company and studying for a Master’s in Asian Business with the entire process mentored and guided by the leading members of the Irish business world in Asia.
