Our full-time programme is suitable for professionals who have already gained a minimum of three years of post-graduate work experience and wish to strengthen their leadership skills to prepare thoroughly for international management positions.

Soft skills training, including career coaching as well as international study visits, guest lectures and company visits, are integral parts of this programme.
