Core Curriculum

Financial & Management Accounting

Stepping into a management role always requires a basic understanding of the financial and accounting activities of your organization. With the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as your frame of reference, financial corporate reporting will soon no longer keep any secrets from you. After this course, you will be able to work with various accounting techniques to smoothly overcome the challenges of financial reporting.

Financial Management

Efficiently managing your organization's financial resources is not a given. To accomplish that task with flying colors, we begin by exploring the meaning of money, especially its time value. With that understanding, financial decision-making becomes a tangible concept and a useful skill. What investment is worthwhile? What is the best time to invest? You will be able to answer questions like these with confidence.

Data Science for Business

Data is more than just raw information, it is a valuable resource for transformation. With a deep understanding of data analysis techniques and their relevance to digital and organizational strategy, you will not only improve your leadership, but boost your entire organization. Together, we will unravel the power of data and its many applications to drive effective digital transformations.

Strategy & Digital Innovation

The digital revolution likes to shout its long-term benefits from the rooftops. While new technologies are creating a major positive impact, they do present companies with major challenges. What is a promising opportunity for one organization can turn out to be a dramatic threat for another. No worries, in this course you will get all the answers to strategically manage, organize and facilitate the digital revolution in your company, for a pitfall-free course with great profit opportunities.

Organizational Behavior & Human Resource Management

As a manager, the HR world is close at hand - and just as well, because it is the people in your organization who make the wheels turn. With a comprehensive but accessible overview of the most important HR concepts, you will emerge as a decisive manager who knows how to fully utilize and care for the human capital within your organization. A healthy mix of theory, cases and experiential exercises will bring you closer to the world of HR management.

Operations & Supply Chain Management

Nowhere does digitalization make more of a difference than in operations management: connecting the strategic component with business objectives mobilizes companies to create more value for their customers. In addition, digital structures improve internal communication and create new opportunities for employees to develop their skills.

... But only on the condition of successful operational management, because one can no longer exist without the other. Find out how that works in this hands-on course.

Marketing & Sales

Organizations are increasingly welcoming digitalization as a way to redefine their strategy, operations and value propositions for the modern marketing world. Little knowledge of marketing? No problem, this course introduces you to the basics and immediately links them to the implications of technological advances - both beneficial and disruptive to a company's market position. With advanced commercial know-how and a strong digital awareness, you will make a difference for tomorrow's consumers.

Digital Leadership & Transformation

An organization will only benefit from its digital transformation in the long run if it is driven by business leaders with a sustainable digital perspective. Contextual strategic thinking, flexibility, transparency and clear communication are the strong suits with which you will lead digital transformations, ensuring a healthy organization with great competitive power in an ever-changing world.

Global Leadership

This personal development program challenges you to improve your communication, ethics and team skills. During a 5-day bootcamp, you will be fully immersed in a consulting mindset where finding problems and solving them structurally is key.

Innovation management in a digital era

To get a taste of the importance of management in an international context, we head to Barcelona. There we are welcomed at Esade, one of Europe's top business schools, for a specialized course in innovation management. In addition, we'll take you on some company visits for unique insights from the managers who lead them day after day and, who knows, to expand your network. Get to know your profession and your fellow students even better on a journey that makes theory tangible.

Master Project

Time to roll up your sleeves. During this in-company project you take on the role of junior consultant for eight weeks to analyze and solve an actual business case of a start-up, SME or multinational. This is the moment to flaunt all the knowledge and skills you have acquired throughout the Master! This way, you will not only complete the Master with a total experience of what management means in this modern business world, but you also take a big step towards working life.

Note: This curriculum is subject to change.

Consulting Skills Bootcamp

This bootcamp is all about consultancy, with a wide range of skills that will help you advance on that career path as well as in the broader management context. The focus is on problem solving, because the talent to recognize problems and explore, influence and structure solutions makes you a versatile manager, who cares about what happens in the workplace as well as the efficiency of the company.

Electives

In addition to the standard curriculum, you also have the opportunity to enrich your studies with electives, in the form of an intensive week of classes, entirely devoted to a topic that is relevant and interesting to you. We always provide an extensive choice between topics from the current geopolitical climate, relevant world news and future-proof insights.
