COURSE CURRICULUM

Taught in English over a 12-month period, this MBA program attracts students from around 37 countries worldwide, creating one of the most diverse and dynamic learning environments of its kind. Participants are trained to think critically, creatively, and analytically about the most pressing issues in global business, guided by top-rated faculty, experienced mentors, and multinational corporate managers. Beyond knowledge acquisition, the program places a strong emphasis on behavioural transformation, equipping students with the personal skills necessary to connect, inspire, motivate, and leverage networks across diversity – qualities that define successful leadership in today’s interconnected world. Experiential learning is at the heart of the curriculum, with two unique components shaping the journey: ‘living’ management and the Personal Leadership Development (PLD) track. These elements encourage participants to use their daily experiences in the classroom and beyond as opportunities to develop deeper intrapersonal awareness and sharpen their interpersonal communication skills. By immersing themselves in a multicultural setting and engaging in hands-on projects, participants learn to navigate differences, collaborate effectively, and lead with empathy and impact. The program is not only about building managerial expertise but also about shaping responsible leaders who recognise the transformative role business can play in society. At Rotterdam School of Management (RSM), business is regarded as a force for positive change, and this belief underpins both teaching and research. Excellence in academic rigour is combined with practical application, preparing graduates to take on leadership roles in international organisations while driving meaningful, sustainable impact. Whether aspiring to lead global corporations, entrepreneurial ventures, or social enterprises, participants leave the program with the mindset, skills, and vision to succeed in a rapidly evolving business world.
