- Is based on real-world management knowledge.
- Draws directly on our faculty's current research work, as well as on influential leaders' experience, to provide real-world learning opportunities.
- Blends the analytical and social dimensions of managerial issues and takes a careful look on at the production of ethical and sustainable value.
- Takes place in a unique learning environment: theoretical and practical, diverse, teamwork-oriented, open to the world, and fostering interpersonal communication.
MBA is demanding, sometimes stressful, but it is also sustainable, allowing a proper balance between career aspirations and personal life, as well as fostering awareness of the importance of what's beyond the boundary of firms.
