The programme's impact

“Deciding to attend the MBA was a great choice. With a background in Arts and the creative industries, my first goals were to improve my management and analytical skills. I wanted to be able to work in another sector. In the end, I got much more!”
“During the programme, I explored the areas that interested me the most to move my career forward and to expand my network with colleagues from the MBA, other programmes, guests, and faculty, coming not only from the academic world but also from the market.”
“For 13 months, I had the opportunity to share my days with an incredible and very enriching class. With the best professors, I developed essential skills that helped me to move forward with my career much more secure and mature.”
