Unique international study

environment in the MBA group

• In the current cohort we have 14 students in the MBA class. Students are all very international and have different academic and professional background. Students come from Canada, Mexico, Gambia, Italy, Iran, Nigeria, India, Indonesia, Ukraine, Germany, China, Morocco and Taiwan.

• Our MBA students have different academic degrees, for example, in Law, Medicine, Communications, Languages, Finance, Management etc. and have had managerial positions in their companies.

• All of the students look very content with the programme and their classmates. Cultural and professional diversity makes the atmosphere in our MBA class really unique. We are proud of it. The group is not very big and it gives more personal approach, more interaction between lecturers and students. There are always interesting business-related discussions within a group.

• Students have close connection with each other, for example, now they are going for skiing altogether in Italy and they will stay in a hotel, that one of our students owns. They will be important business contacts for each other in the future.
