Full Profile
The Program

The Full-time MBA programme has been carefully created to maximise your development over 12 months. The first intense 6 months are designed for you (the Core Phase), and the following 6 months are designed by you: students can tailor the programme towards their own specific career needs, they are able to select their own electives and define the topic and scope of their final project.
The Part-time MBA programme has been carefully designed for you to maximise your development over 24 months, with a manageable rhythm of 3.5-day modules per month, making it perfectly possible for you to continue to work on 100% basis. Over the 24 months, you are required to complete 23 modules. In total you attend 69 days of scheduled class time.
Whether you have a clear vision about your post-MBA career or not, this MBA programme gives you the opportunity to know yourself and the job market better, craft your personal pitch, and ultimately find a post-MBA role that puts you on a path to achieving your long-term vision.
