Full-Time MBA

Student Profiles

Our MBA students come from a range of academic disciplines and professional backgrounds including accounting, law, sales, marketing, software development, pharmaceuticals and structural engineering.

We attract professionals from all over the world. In 2012 on the full-time programme 65% of our participants come from overseas (North America, Asia, Europe), while 75% have spent part of their career overseas – and approximately 30% are female.

We expect our participants to contribute actively to the learning and therefore only accept experienced professionals to the MBA programme. The average age on the full-time MBA is 30 years and participants have an average of 8 years of professional experience. However, the range of age and years is extensive, adding to the diversity of the class.
