For students trying to decide whether to study for a business degree just when the pandemic is changing the courses on offer and how they are taught, Theresa Cho has some advice.

“If you want to, and can afford to, wait [to] experience the full-fledged, face-to-face educational setting, by all means you should wait. Most likely, however, even after the pandemic is over?.?.?.?classrooms will continue to rely on online mode, now that we have experienced all the benefits associated with it. In short, even if you decide to wait, online learning may not cease to exist.”

Professor Cho, associate dean at Seoul National University in South Korea, was a participant in a recent FT Q&A session as part of our special report on business education in Asia-Pacific.
