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

“The MBA benefited me in many ways. It exposed me to all areas of business such as accounting and finance, economics, human resources, operations management, marketing and law. It also provided me a great opportunity to experience cultural diversity and to interact with a cohort from varied educational backgrounds.”
