Starting from next September, Nyenrode’s flagship full-time MBA program will be based in the iconic heart of Amsterdam at the Vijf Keizers, a building complex located at the Emperor’s Canal (Keizersgracht) Increased interest from the school’s international students to become better connected with the European business environment during their studies, has also been instrumental in the program’s recent developments.
This relocation is part of a wider initiative to further immerse the program within the European business landscape. Nyenrode already connects students with the Dutch labour market through activities such as ‘Meet the CEO’ sessions, careers events held through the school’s Career & Personal Development Centre. Furthermore, in 2016 Nyenrode launched European Immersion Modules on the Full-time MBA, through which students can visit companies operating in a variety of sectors in key European capitals of; Brussels, Copenhagen, Dublin, Milan and Paris.
For Prof. Dr. Dennis Vink Program Director of the Full-time MBA, moving the program to Amsterdam was a natural step. “Company visits connect our students with business executives of top tier companies and institutions, providing a great opportunity for them to expand their network, learn about the latest developments in international business, and enables them to explore employment possibilities,” he says. “Our strong connection with the business world plays a big role in providing employment possibilities to our students. Currently, 82 percent of them find a job within three months after graduation. Living and studying in Amsterdam will bring our students even closer to such opportunities.”
Every year, the full-time MBA program welcomes between 40-50 talents from all over the world and with backgrounds that range from marketing, science, finance and diplomacy. During their journey, participants are exposed to Executives of companies and organizations operating across multiple sectors and receive intensive leadership development coaching through Nyenrode faculty, alumni and staff.
Nyenrode holds a partnership with Diplomat Magazine offering talents from the Diplomatic network with Awards for this one-year full-time program. For more information, visit nyenrode.nl/imba
