Testimonials
Ramin Shahzamani (Iranian/Canadian) - "When I wanted to advance my career, I started looking for an executive MBA program which fostered an effective and challenging learning environment and allowed me to continue and work in far off places. At the time I was working in DR Congo and later moved to Afghanistan to manage a humanitarian organization; my next move will be to Colombia. Needless to say I wanted a highly accredited program which allowed me the flexibility to simultaneously pursue my international career. At first I was skeptical when the Euro*MBA claimed to provide this package. Two semesters and two residential weeks later, what has impressed me most are the students and the teaching methodology. The diversity and extensive experience of each individual truly enriches the learning process and the program is designed to draw upon the real life experience and management challenges of each individual. People from different cultures, languages, experiences and different ways of looking and solving problems along with modern teaching methodology of the Euro*MBA is the innovative approach I was searching for.”
Oksana Bayuk (Ukrainian) - "During my Introduction Seminar I entered a special atmosphere of constant learning: different experience and business backgrounds, different nationalities, races and language accents, different cultures, heritage and ways of thinking. And this atmosphere is of such a high concentration and density that your mind and consciousness fall into constant process of development. In every room and corridor during brakes you hear a noise of active speaking. People are giving and absorbing information about their companies and countries, business cases, life’s stories. I can call this process broadening mental frontiers and eliminating distinctions. I am sure it is impossible to find such an effective source of learning in day-to-day life or it would take me many years."
