Course content

The programme is practical in nature, being case-based and relying on students relating their own experience to the concepts, theory and models advanced. Social resourcefulness will be further pursued via extra-curricular learning, such as cultural events and visits, and one-off workshops and seminars, which students will engage in as part of Professional Update and Development. Creativity is an important aspect of the course.

Next to knowledge extension in the field of financial management, general management and human resource management, the programme enables the student to improve his personal performance. Curiosity and the need to acquire knowledge are basic conditions for successful participation.
It provides a basis for continuing self-development and fosters a creative yet systematic approach to problem solving.

Another element of the programme is that it aims to offer a strategic approach to business problems and opportunities in an international context. Highly rooted in practice, the programme focuses on relating theory to practice in a way that provides “better” solutions to business problems and challenges.
