Tailormade, linking theory to practice

The Amsterdam MBA: All the main business subjects are taught in the core MBA courses. Also an international study trip is part of the core course curriculum. By choosing 2-4 electives the Amsterdam MBA can be tailored to your own business interests. All courses are designed to combine academic rigour with practical relevance that brings the business world into the classroom.

Our recognition of the importance of leadership competencies in students’ personal and professional development was the motivation for creating the Amsterdam Leadership Programme®, one of the MBA’s core courses.

 

The Master in International Finance: Taught by the ABS' renowned Finance Group, the Master in International Finance (MIF) programme introduces students to cutting-edge developments in international corporate finance, asset management and banking. The curriculum aims to prepare students for a professional rather than an academic career. Nevertheless, high academic standards are maintained and students are introduced to the most recent research in respective areas. At the same time, experts from the financial services industry are regularly involved in developing and evaluating the curriculum, thus guaranteeing that the course material offered has a high degree of practical relevance. The MIF is a recognized CFA programme partner.
