Full-Time MBA

Reflective Space, Comprehensive Education

This 1-year MBA provides you with a unique experience to reimagine the way you do business in today’s ever-changing environment. Combining comprehensive business training, experiential learning, and an innovative structure, allows your ideas to take root:

• Two concentrations (6 electives) in either corporate finance or entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility or innovation

• Learning organized in blocks

• Real-world learning with case studies, group projects, hands-on work with companies, and an optional internship

• Diverse professional development opportunities

• Flexible final project options: on-campus learning ends by June, leaving an opportunity for self-guided learning and a corporate internship

Due to the limited number of places available– and to benefit from early application fee waivers or scholarships– we advise applying by 31 January.
