THINK BIGGER. THE RAFFLES JAKARTA MBA 2026
One Year. Four Intakes. Study On Campus or Hybrid Without Leaving Your Career.
The Raffles Jakarta MBA is a one-year Master of Business Administration taught entirely in English on Jalan M.H. Thamrin in Central Jakarta, with four intakes a year and two ways to study. It is built for people who are already working.
Bringing together professionals from different industries and cultures, the program turns that difference into the method rather than the backdrop.
You will build depth in strategy, finance, leadership, and decision-making, informed by evidence and taught by an international academic team that still works in the industries they teach.
Small class sizes mean lecturers know your work rather than simply your name on a list.
Whether you are advancing in your current role or stepping into new leadership, this MBA in Jakarta equips you to lead with confidence and impact.
Part of Raffles Education, founded in Singapore in 1990 and now operating 16 colleges across 14 cities in nine countries, a degree earned here is recognized well beyond it.
INSIDE THE RAFFLES MBA
Ninety seconds is usually enough to tell whether a room is right for you.
This is the Raffles MBA program in brief: who it is built for, how the year is structured, and what changes for the professionals who take it on.
The program is designed for ambitious people seeking to elevate their leadership, strategic thinking, and business capabilities, and it deepens expertise in evolving management theories, decision-making informed by data, and real-world business practice.
Your cohort will not resemble your office. Professionals arrive from different industries, different countries, and different points in their careers, and that mix is the part graduates most often say they underestimated.
You will spend the year defending your thinking to people who do not share your assumptions, which is the closest thing to preparation for leadership that a classroom can offer.
WHY THINK BIGGER
Thinking bigger is not ambition for its own sake. It is a set of skills, and every one of them can be taught.
LEAD BIGGER
You already manage tasks. This is where you learn to lead people, negotiate across functions, and carry a decision that others will live with. Organizational Behaviour and Strategic Management turn leadership from a title into a practice.
DECIDE BIGGER
Instinct takes a career only so far. Accounting for Decision Making, Financial Management, and Managerial Economics give you the numbers and the confidence to defend them in the room where the budgets are approved.
MOVE BIGGER
One year, not three. Four intakes a year rather than a single annual window. Completing your studies ahead of your peers opens more opportunities in the industry and moves your whole career forward sooner.
CONNECT BIGGER
Your cohort comes from industries and countries that are not yours, within an international group that has operated across nine countries since 1990. That difference is not a side benefit of the Raffles MBA; it is the entire design of the program.
