You choose to follow this master with us for at least four important reasons: flexibility in choosing your programme, practical orientation, location, networking, and our special focus. 
 
You are highly committed to this intensive full-time master programme and having a part-time job is not recommended. We ask your full dedication to the programme for one year.  

All of our English-taught master programmes are also offered in Dutch. As a working professional you have the option to the full-time or part-time English-taught MBA, or the part-time Dutch-taught MBA. You choose the best option matching your situation:  

• The intensive full-time programme of 1 year, for students mostly in the beginning of their careers with an average of 2-5 years of working experience;
• The two-year part-time programme for working professionals, targeting students with at least 2 years of relevant working experience and who already live and work in the Netherlands, mostly in mid to senior levels; 
• Another part-time option would be studying at your own pace with separate master-modules that are part of the regular programme. This option is only for students who already live and work in the Netherlands. If you are interested in these masterclasses, please click here.  

Whether you choose a full-time or a part-time MBA, the master programme itself will remain the same. For example, both options have a practical emphasis and focus on your leadership and organisational development. All aspects of doing business will be taught, from Strategy to Marketing and Innovation to Corporate Finance. During each module, you will learn about real business problems and share best practices. You will actively work on analysing and solving current business cases. At the end, you will deliver a Consultancy report in collaboration with a real company. All of our MBA modules will therefore support you in growing into a flexible leader at a senior level with profound insight into global issues, environmental factors and business innovation.
