"I chose VU Amsterdam not only for its convenient location but also for its vibrant, welcoming community and my positive experiences with its previous programs.
The CMA program, primarily focused on the accounting models of the manufacturing industry, offers broad applicability across various sectors. The curriculum covered extensive managerial topics, from cost accounting and risk management to corporate financing and integrated reporting. Discussions on ESG reporting are on the rise, and I appreciate the program’s timely and thorough approach to introducing this critical topic. I valued the structured lectures and practical tips from our lecturer. While accounting programs can be complex, the lecturer enhanced our learning by connecting it to current global events, making sessions more engaging and enjoyable. I particularly valued the program's scope, which reminded me of the core of management accounting and how we, as practitioners, can significantly impact a business."
