Business schools. MBA programmes in the Netherlands

The MBA or Masters in Business Administration degree is now probably the world’s most popular and widely recognised post-graduate qualification. Every year over 100,000 students will invest large amounts of time, effort and money to gain one.

The MBA is the classic training for managers, the market leader amongst business qualifications. The MBA degree tends to provide a significant boost to careers and income. It is also a big investment in time and money and the quality of MBAs available on the market is extremely variable.

Most European programmes are only one year in length enabling students to complete an MBA in a much shorter period than they would a traditional American MBA, saving on both time and expense.
Less time out of the workplace ensures MBA graduates retain a stronger market value. The international profile of top European schools is also significant: many remain committed to the concept of highly international MBA programmes.

Three of the top full-time global 100 MBA programmes according to the newspaper "Financial Times " are based in the Netherlands.

MBA programmes come with a wide variety of study options.
