What sets our part-time MBA programme apart is the flexibility it offers. You can earn your MBA without having to take a break from your career or personal life. This means you can make an impact, applying what you learn in the classroom immediately to your current workplace. Unlike full-time programmes where you often have to wait until after graduation to test your knowledge, our MBA in International Business allows you to dive deep into a topic during the week and put it into practice the following Monday.

One of the key advantages of our programme is the invaluable feedback you receive. You'll have the opportunity to share your findings with your cohort participants and faculty, receiving their insights and perspectives. We believe that feedback is a precious gift that unlocks your growth and development. With this constructive input, you'll gain the confidence to iterate, analyse, and implement your solutions in real-time, making a tangible impact in your professional environment.

At VU Amsterdam, we believe in the power of learning by doing. Our programme empowers you to seamlessly bridge theory and practice, ensuring that your MBA journey is not just an academic pursuit, but a transformative experience that prepares you to thrive in the dynamic business landscape.

Join us and unlock your potential to think holistically, collaborate effectively, and act entrepreneurially. The VU MBA Experience awaits you, offering a supportive and dynamic environment where you can truly unleash your talents and make a lasting impact.
