Overview
Build your career with a program of excellence
In the first year, students are encouraged to explore a wide range of disciplines and management courses. This foundational learning equips them with the essential knowledge and skills to confidently navigate the complexities of the global business environment.
At the heart of our curriculum are the signature DNA courses, which reflect our unique educational approach. Courses like Prototype and Sustainable Futures are designed to develop critical skills necessary to thrive in the fast-evolving business world. These are further enhanced by two flagship projects: RECAPPS, which focuses on applied research in social sciences, and PCE (Business Start-up Project), which fosters entrepreneurial thinking and allows students to bring their business ideas to life.
This MiM program offers a progressive pathway to specialization, giving students the time and flexibility to explore their interests and refine their skills before focusing on a specific area.
In the final year, students can either deepen their expertise in a chosen specialization or broaden their skill set through options like double degrees, apprenticeships, specialized tracks, and a wide selection of elective courses.
