'The good thing about the MBA programme at Nyenrode is that you get to know very different fields of expertise and gain insight into the latest trends. Nyenrode ensures that the MBA participants are up to date'.

"I have had many valuable lessons at Nyenrode. Daring to make yourself vulnerable and taking the risk to fail is one of them."

Stephen Garcia Alumnus MBA
Stephen Garcia

''I have had many valuable lessons and experiences at Nyenrode. If I have to choose something it is that you dare to make yourself vulnerable and that this is about having the courage to show yourself, to try things and to take the risk of failing. In the module Leadership and Cooperation I learned a lot about this and about myself and I also got tools to work with it".

"This MBA has brought me an incredible bucket of knowledge, insights and most importantly a network of friends and relationships."

Jos Tholen Alumnus MBA

I compared 4 masters and Nyenrode was the most pragmatic and fits my practice best. In addition, the modular structure appealed to me greatly, because I only live once and work-life balance (with a wife and 2 young kids) is important.

"The module Future Business has helped me tremendously to think from the different interests of stakeholders."

Thea Freudenberger Participant Modular Executive MBA in Public & Private
Thea Freudenberger

"The study is easy to combine with work and home. Of course it's a trade-off, but I also get a lot of energy from it. Particularly because of the many similarities with your work, you can often apply it immediately. It has helped me enormously to think from the different interests of stakeholders. That's how you create a common picture of the future in dialogue with each other."
