History
QMU Singapore is a joint venture by Queen Margaret University and the East Asia Institute of Management (EASB) to provide Business and Management Courses in Singapore. QMU maintains direct control over the quality of the courses provided in its campus in Singapore, and will engage its own faculty to teach its offshore courses. However, marketing and administration is provided by EASB.
The University began its offshore operations in April 2008, providing Business courses to 1,600 students.
