Pablo Collazzo, Program Director of the Executive MBA at Nyenrode says, “Looking at the bigger picture, the fact that our Executive MBA has been ranked by the Financial Times for the first time is a great achievement. Next to that, being ranked first when it comes to career progress is very important to us – essentially, it captures the core of our value proposition – our Executive MBA is a business oriented, part-time program that can fit into your working life and allow you to progress rapidly career-wise. This specific FT ranking reinforces the value of the program and I’m very proud of that.”
The Executive MBA course at Nyenrode is a part-time course that runs over a period of 21 months in a modular structure including two twelve day modules at Kellogg in the US and Stellenbosch in South Africa. The programme is taught in English and is currently accepting applications for the start of the next intake on March 28th 2010.
