Student quotes "Being able to uptake a real life management consulting project at Siemens Consumer Insight Team was without the doubt the highlight of the entire MBA course for me! During the project I was able to implement all the knowledge I have learnt in the classroom and apply it in a business scenario to actually help the client to solve a real life business problem."

Jennifer Kesik, MBA 2014, Poland

It also provided me a great opportunity to experience cultural diversity and to interact with a cohort from varied educational backgrounds.”
