Fundamentals of Business Management.
The first part of the Full-time MBA program is all about acquiring an understanding of the key principles of business management. The fundamentals are designed to provide you with a strong academic foundation which you will need to employ during each step in the program, and consists of the following subjects:
Business Practices and European Immersion Modules.
During the second part of the Full-time MBA program you will focus on several key business practices which are all concluded with two-day company visits in main European cities. During the business practices you will combine the academic knowledge gained
during the fundamentals with the practical application for a variety of companies operating in different countries and sectors. This part of the program consists of the following subjects and visits:
Each of the above business practices is rounded up with a European Immersion Module, during which you get up close and personal with the European business community. You spend two days visiting a European city to listen to, or give, presentations to leaders
of companies operating in those markets.
Watch the video below to get an get a glimpse of the visit to Maersk in Copenhagen, which was part of the practice on Organizational Leadership and Talent Management. There our Full-time MBA students had the opportunity to meet one of the company’s
Vice Presidents, who is an alumna of Nyenrode, and attend several presentations. Furthermore, they worked in teams on an actual business case and had to present their solutions to the executives of Maersk.
Meet the CEO sessions.
One of the unique elements of our Full-time MBA program are the Meet the CEO sessions. They run throughout the length of the program will help you build a professional network by bringing you in touch with senior executives of companies operating in different sectors. The emphasis is on continuous and mutual learning: CEOs get a fresh perspective from you and your fellow MBA students, and in turn share their own business experiences. You will be encouraged to share your insights. Translating new developments in line with the company’s operations.

Personal Leadership Development Journey.
Our primary focus is your career advancement and your attractiveness to the business world. The Personal Leadership Development Journey is designed to enhance your leadership potential. You will be supported to identify your strengths as an individual
and as a team member and take concrete action to address areas which could benefit from professional development. Resulting in truer self-direction, and an enhanced ability to lead others and organizations.
The insights you will gain during the Personal Leadership Development Journey are relevant not just to your next move, but the whole of your career. You will have a greater appreciation of your own strengths, abilities and capacities. And the confidence to communicate these to potential employers or to start your own business. Watch the video below to learn how our Career and Personal Development team supports you in realising your career objectives.
Elective Courses.
During the Full-time MBA program, you have the opportunity to tailor your MBA to your individual needs by participating in one of our Elective Courses. These are designed to accelerate your understanding, deepen your knowledge and help you achieve your professional goals. The list of available elective courses will be published soon.
Graduation Project.
The Full-time MBA program will be concluded with a Final Graduation Project. Together with a fellow MBA student, by using Applied Research Methodology and under the guidance of a faculty supervisor, you will undertake a research assignment / business project at a company in the field you aim to work in after graduation. You will develop specialized expertise by applying your acquired knowledge to real business issues and influence real commercial outcomes.
The exposure with companies and the connections you make throughout the Full-time MBA program as well as support from Nyenrode alumni and faculty members will enable you to determine your final graduation project. In addition, the Amsterdam Economic Area is home to a growing number of international organizations.
