International MBA Programmes
Our part-time and full-time International MBA Programmes are aimed at (young) professionals who are willing and eager to invest in their human capital, an investment that they will carry with them through their professional career, and not only to their next job.

Our MBA Programme is different in that it includes the accepted fundamentals of business education like financial management and business strategy, which we refer to as 'the science of business', while also offering what we call 'art of business' topics like business skills and cross cultural management. Our students and faculty are coming from around the globe. Many of our full-time students are from developing countries and emerging, transition economies, while many of the part-time students are coming from multi-national companies, Dutch and foreign. Our International MBA programme has the power to transform your future and therefore the future of your organization and your society.
International Programme Manager Health Affairs, Heineken International, MBA Part-time:
"Even if you are critical towards MBA methods and models you are enriched with the understanding of today's international business in general and understand the 'international language' of business. Although the papers we write for our MBA are related to the company I work for, I still experience the two evenings a week and the work around it as being 'freed' from my daily work and very inspiring for developing a helicopter view over my company."
The world is facing a difficult task: the peaceful globalisation of societies and economies. In this context, and in response to a very volatile business environment. In the modern business environment change has become a constant, and is now the norm. Although companies have always had to deal with the dynamics of markets and technologies, in recent years the speed of change has increased tremendously. Innovation and learning are essential for identifying and exploiting new business opportunities. Strategic decisions on investments in new technologies must be taken rapidly, so a clear insight in the market potential of new innovations is essential. Therefore, companies have a stronger need than ever for highly qualified managers with a multidisciplinary background, who can guide and steer the company in a rapidly changing world market.
Theory and practice
School of Economics and Management believes that a student should not only have a certain level of academic ability, but should also be able to do. This combination of theory and practice not only stimulates a direct application of theoretical knowledge, but also at the same time promotes critical assessment of the suitability of scientific concepts to daily business life. Students are placed in situations which are very similar to those faced regularly by managers in business. They must make important decisions, under considerable time pressure, and often with very limited information. The three pillars of personal development, knowledge acquisition and the transferral of that knowledge into practical situations are central to the Post-Graduate Programmes.
Thanks to the core skills developed by our courses, alumni will be in a significantly better position as managers to being solving difficult problems in an uncertain global environment. They will be able to anticipate and adapt to changes and have the capacity to deal with complex international issues. HES Post-Graduate Programmes maintains close contact with a number of internationally based companies to ensure that the course content and result of the programme meet the needs of international business. A number of senior managers of these companies have committed themselves to advise and provide feedback on the quality of the programme on a regular basis.
Bulgary, MBA Full-time:
"When I joined the MBA Programme, I expected to enrich my knowledge base thus become a better professional in my future career path. What I had not expected was the value added benefit of the Programme, in terms of the increased cultural awareness and personal growth. I would recommend this Programme to any young professional in need of attaining additional theoretical knowledge, but in a more real-life setting."
