The International Executive MBA is already recognised as a consolidated and differentiated programme, but being awarded 5 Stars corroborates what we have been doing over the years, in terms of innovation in executive education, quality of content and our relationships with students and alumni. It is important to communicate these results to our stakeholders, as they are the recognition of the high quality of our faculty, staff, students and alumni.
