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. On the full-time programme almost half 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 31 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.
