Master of Science in Management Consulting
Our teaching is mainly focused on the Master specialisation Management Consulting, with annually around 75 graduates, of which more than half with an international background. Our aim here is not to teach students the tips, tricks and tools that are popular in consulting today, but to help them in establishing a strong academic basis by developing the critical analytical skills needed for a future career in consulting, management practice, academic research or combinations of these. To achieve that they need a good grasp of theories related to consulting, but they also are frequently exposed to practice to gain concrete, experience-based knowledge. Most of our students find their way into consulting, others start as management trainees, at governments, as internal consultants and some pursue an academic career, after or in parallel with their consultancy work.
