About NEXT Education Group

NEXT Education Group was established in 2007 and since then NEXT has been engaged in postgraduate education. Starting with general qualifications such as marketing and business administration (MBA), over time, NEXT ventured into specialized master’s qualifications with the changing needs of different industry sectors.

Unique in its roots, NEXT was born from the industry. Five industry practitioners came together in 2007 to establish a business school that caters to industry practitioners. The pioneering theme was ‘learn from the experts who have proved the theory in practice’ emphasizing the value of learning from proven industry practitioners. To date we believe in this mantra of bringing industry practitioners as faculty for our master’s programmemes to offer a ‘slice of real life’ in the classroom.

With the wealth of knowledge & relevant industry experience, NEXT has the capability to deliver postgraduate master’s programmemes which are designed to suit the needs of individual managers or corporates. Seasoned senior managers as well as young executives aspiring to move into managerial positions have followed NEXT master’s programmemes to stay ahead of their peers.

Whats Happening?

FUTURE IS ABOUT SMART PEOPLE. It’s about how capable & relevant you are in changing times. As much as products have an expiry date, your knowledge, skills & capabilities have one too. This means you need to constantly upskill & reskill yourself with either qualifications or skill development programmemes.

Public and Private enterprises will need to invest in upskilling and reskilling their human capital to stay ahead in their industries. The VUCA environment, changing technologies, customer preferences, and employee expectations continuously exert pressure on enterprises to change at an accelerated pace in the coming years. This means, corporates need to upskill and reskill employees with targeted interventions that address specific competencies.
