Although the Full-time MBA and the Global Online MBA share the same curriculum, each caters to different professional needs and learning preferences.
Â
The Full-time MBA is a one-year immersive programme held on campus in Maastricht, providing in-depth learning experiences, networking opportunities, and personal growth in a multicultural setting. Through the interactive lectures, assignments, and the Career and Personal Development Track, the full-time MBA prepares professionals for a possible international career in the Netherlands, or abroad, after their studies.
Â
The Global Online MBA is a part-time programme offering the flexibility of online learning while maintaining the rigor and transformative experience of an in-class MBA. Designed for professionals seeking career advancement without interruption, this programme allows the immediate application of new skills and knowledge in their current roles, fostering personal and organisational success.
Â
Both programmes offer various specialisations to align the MBA with specific career goals and emphasize ethical leadership, intercultural communication, and practical skills essential for effective management.
Â
Â
The Executive Online MBA and Executive On-Campus MBA programmes are tailored to professionals currently in executive roles or aspiring to them. They also share the same curriculum, and – like the Full-time and Global Online MBA – accommodate different personal and professional needs and learning preferences.
Â
The Executive Online MBA is a part-time blended programme, allowing students to study from anywhere in the world. This format harmonises our students’ professional goals, studies and personal life. The primary benefits are the freedom to study wherever they want and the maximum flexibility to progress through coursework at their own rhythm via the online discussion forum and the occasional Sunday webinar. This results in the optimal mix of distance learning and physical encounters to allow interaction, skill development and networking. When you join the Executive On-Campus MBA, you will transform your career in 18 to 24 months. You will engage in action-oriented, face-to-face learning that encompasses on-site interactive cooperation with fellow students and faculty on a regular basis, in a format that requires them to attend only four on-site educational weeks a year.
Â
With a strong emphasis on leadership development, both Executive MBA programmes cater to candidates who are eager to acquire the essential skills for making significant professional strides. We offer a focus on leadership skills, executive coaching and immersive experiences in Maastricht and abroad to enable our students to acquire skills in an international setting. This unique opportunity enables them to seamlessly integrate the knowledge and experiences gained during their MBA journey into an international business environment and their overall skillset, better preparing them for their future endeavours.
