The Financial Times publishes its annual ranking for Masters in Management today.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of Nyenrode Business Universiteit. It was a men’s stronghold for the first 25 years, but from 1972 women were also welcome to pursue their education. Jonneke Brunet (68) and Rika Zaat (22) have the floor.

In a repeat to last year’s achievement, the Masters in Business Administration and Controlling have been declared the “Best Masters” of their kind.

Daniël Smits, Full-time MSc in Management alumnus and Treasury Analyst at ABN AMRO, shares his experience at Nyenrode and how the program shaped him to become a manager in the banking industry.
