A small and diverse class
We keep our class size smaller than some other top MBA programmes. A more intimate learning environment means more contact time with faculty and other students. Our MBA class typically has around 50 students from across the world.
Our MBA attracts a mix of nationalities and a diverse range of backgrounds. This means you’ll get a global classroom experience.
