A core of full-time academic faculty, employed by AMS or shared with the University of Antwerp, form the backbone of the AMS faculty community. In addition, a large number of academics from other universities worldwide and practitioners from business life teach part-time at the School. With their specific expertise and professional experience they provide complete, practice-oriented and scientifically up-to-date management insights. Together they provide a top-quality learning experience for all our participants.
As an excellent management school, we want to remain at the forefront of business innovation and transformation. Thanks to our extensive research team, we stay on top of business science, management and organization. We do this by both creating new knowledge through research and bringing about effective changes together with partners. Thus, our ambition is clear: "Opening minds to impact the world". We do this based on three core values: a global mindset, societal awareness and critical reflection.
