Master in Global Management

Those looking for a management degree with a cultural perspective often end up with masters that focus mainly on business, and only towards the end of the program do they allow some time for the impact of globalization…

But to render multicultural collaborations successfully, you need much more than that. That's why the Master in Global Management is all about intercultural business and leadership. Not only the curriculum - which provides useful knowledge, tools and techniques from the start - but also the extensive project work, company visits and study trips to other continents are completely infused with the multicultural approach. By stepping into the middle of these emerging Asian and South American markets, the differences from your own cultural comfort zone become tangible, and you get the chance to turn these business challenges into opportunities, in real time. With this preparation, you have everything you need to build a comprehensive foundation for international cooperation as a true global citizen and manager.

Accredited quality

Upon graduation, you will receive an internationally recognized Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree - and it's not just a piece of paper, because our Master in Global Management is highly regarded among global offerings. The quality of our students' learning experience and the value for their professional careers earned us some great rankings: Eduniversal Ranking rewarded us with 7th place worldwide and 1st place in Belgium. Times Higher Education gave us 16th place worldwide and the highest in Belgium in the Masters in Management category.

Multiculturalism in its purest form

"Global" is not just a buzzword here. From the curriculum to the people in the classroom and the destinations of our trips, they all breathe the international and cross-cultural nature of this program. At AMS, the world is right around the corner, because that's the only way you can truly explore the complexities of international business and master the techniques.

Action

Theory is the foundation, practice is the refinement. These principles go hand in hand to provide you with a truly comprehensive experience that enriches your knowledge, as well as your relevant work experience, before you've even begun.

Teamwork and people skills

As a manager, your success hinges on how well you can guide people. That's why the Master in Global Management is peppered with group projects. By working together on cases and in-company projects, you will strengthen your social insights and experience the value of the other perspectives. This way, you can proudly put the trait "team player" on your resume.

Real impact

Not only will we help you sharpen your responsible, creative and analytical mind to create impact in the future, but even during the program you will have the opportunity to make a difference. With our "Global Impact Projects", you'll develop tools for local initiatives, entrepreneurs, businesses and people in developing countries or socially disadvantaged environments. You'll see the power of your contribution in action.

Let's put it in the words of our students: "An education at AMS transforms you not only professionally, but also as a person." We are thrilled to hear that again and again, because at AMS, your personal development is as important as your professional development. Soft skills are as important as hard skills. And practice is as important as theory. You will undergo this evolution in a warm environment, characterized by cooperation and helpfulness, not competition. Team players will feel right at home on our charming campus in the heart of Antwerp. With large windows, a cozy garden and modern classrooms, it is a real gem among the city schools.
