The full-time MBA is a general management programme, aimed at professionals with at least three years of work experience and with a strong international focus. It gives participants up-to-date theoretical insights in relation to practical experience and allows them to tailor the curriculum to their professional needs through the selection of elective modules and the eight-week consultancy project.
