Fast Facts

Why did you decide to pursue an MBA?

After finishing my Master in International Management, I have always had the ambition to pursue an MBA. However, I started moving to different job positions at my current employer, and time started passing by, but not the idea of an MBA.

Finally, last year I decided that was time to go back to university. The main reasons to pursue an MBA were to improve my leadership skills, to explore the latest international business trends, to learn and apply the newest management tools and techniques, and moreover to challenge myself with a strategic thinking approach.

Why did you choose for MaastrichtMBA?

The main reasons for choosing the MaastrichtMBA programme are:

The Leadership Development Trajectory
The modern content of the programme
Triple Accreditation (AACSB/AMBA/EQUIS)
The blended and flexible format
The international diversity of students with different backgrounds and expertises

What made you choose your specific MaastrichtMBA track?

The setup is just perfect because I can continue learning without giving up my personal and professional responsibilities. Moreover, the educational weeks and their content are motivating as you have the opportunity to interact face-to-face with your fellow students.

Which skills do you want to refine during the programme?

I would like to continue mastering my leadership and management skills, as well as learning the strategic and financial concepts and tools that I can apply in my daily job.

How do you think you will benefit from doing this MBA?

I have just finished my first year of the MBA, and one of the major learning processes is that I have learned and expanded my knowledge by analysing and applying different strategic tools and techniques during the assignments.

In addition, by interacting and reacting to different subjects during the weekly discussions and group assignments it gives me the chance to digest, learn and apply this knowledge in my work and daily life. Each student brings in his own expertise and point of view and this to me is a very strong asset of the programme.

What is the most enjoyable part of the MaastrichtMBA programme so far?

So far, the most enjoyable part has been the interaction and teamwork during the group assignments, because it is the chance to get to know more about your fellow students, and the exchange of ideas and expertise of each team member is just priceless and very inspirational.

Furthermore, I have enjoyed the modules Digital Business, Strategic Management, and Managerial Economics because I have learned different strategic tools that I could apply in my professional career.
