De studenten zijn allemaal werkzaam in het bedrijfsleven, volgen hun MBA-studie in de weekenden aan de VU en hopen over 18 maanden hun MBA-degree te behalen. Executive MBA-student Paula uit Argentinië reageert enthousiast op haar eerste dag: ”All the participants genuinely seem like friendly people! I am excited to spend the next 18-months with them!”
Aki Voudigaris, senior recruiter, kijkt tevreden terug op de feestelijke start: “What we have accomplished in the past years, from scratch to launch, is nothing short of a miracle! The MBA market is highly competitive in the Netherlands, and when you are launching not one, but two new programmes, the challenge becomes even more significant. Especially during a global crisis with Covid-19 and the uncertainty that comes with it. By recruiting more than 20 students, we validated that we are offering something new and different from other business schools, and we can be even more ambitious about the future.” aldus Voudigaris. De MBA-programma’s zijn in 2021 officieel geaccreditieerd.
De VU biedt enerzijds een MBA programme in International Business en anderzijds een Executive MBA programme Leading with Purpose aan.
