Mirko Luca Varisco, Italy

The experience at AMS was enlightening. Having the opportunity to deeply connect with so many people from all over the world and work on projects with them was truly enriching. 
The professors were also extremely inspiring. Having high-caliber professionals as professors and tutors was truly invaluable. I learnt how to work in international groups and how to best enhance each person's potential. The year I spent at AMS was certainly one of the most intense and formative of my life, a unique experience that I would have been hard-pressed to have had anywhere else. 

MGM Amélie Bens

My year at AMS has been truly transformational. It not only deepened my knowledge of international business and enhanced my cultural sensitivity, but also gave me lifelong experiences and invaluable new friendships. This journey has helped me grow both professionally and personally, in ways I will carry with me into the future.

MGM Nataly Usuga Ramirez
Alumna

Nataly Usuga Ramirez, Colombia

AMS was a life changing experience. As an international student, everything felt new and exciting, and I loved connecting with people from all over the world. The Master in Global Management provided a truly international experience, not only through its diverse students and professors but also through immersive trips that revealed how business works across cultures. The classes and company cases prepared me for the professional world, and collaborating with students from different backgrounds made the learning experience truly dynamic. This program has shaped the way I see the world and my career. 

Gaston Verstreken
Alumnus

Gaston Verstreken, Belgium

My year at AMS was exactly what I hoped for. Apart from exploring two new continents, I was lucky enough to finally create an idea of what I wanted to do with my past degrees for my career. A good mix between focused classes and a general overview allows you to digest all the information in your own way. Causing you to apply it in your own way. By balancing theory with practice, I could balance my former degrees with this one. 

Nicolo Mazzullo
Alumnus

Nicolò Mazzullo, Italy

What I loved most about the MGM was the incredible mix of nationalities and backgrounds you are exposed to, both in the classroom and during the international immersions in India and Brazil. You learn how to interact with people from different cultures, not only in a professional environment, but also on a deeply personal level. As they say at AMS, it is all about the connection — professionally, but most importantly, personally. The people you meet and the friendships you build throughout this journey are something you will carry with you long after the program ends. Looking back, beyond all the skills I developed, what I will cherish the most are the memories we created together — the moments, experiences, and friendships that are difficult to put into words, but that make this year truly unforgettable. For me, that is what makes the MGM an experience you don't simply study for, but one you live and remember forever.

Every year we only accept a select amount of candidates. We advise you to start the noncommittal application process as soon as possible.
