Personalised Career Support, Each Step of the Way

 

Ambitious career changes and goals require support, which is why individual, personalised career support is an integral part of the Global MBA experience. Your ideas, interests, and competencies will evolve as your knowledge and experience grow, so we make sure that you’re supported the entire length of the programme through our dedicated MBA CareerSMART team.

The career development programme helped immensely to land my post-MBA job: the preparation for job hunting (and finding) was excellent, particularly the mock interviews organised with alumni. Overall, the Global MBA gave me the necessary soft skills needed to thrive in a demanding professional environment as well as the essential technical skills to stay on top of the game.
