It stands on a general management foundation with the possibility to personalize your learning journey with electives at the SSE campuses and at a member school within the GNAM.

Our participants are fantastic. They all work full-time while pursuing their studies with us, and most have extensive international experience. In our current class, average age is 41 with an age span from 27 to 50+. Average years of work experience is 17. 44% are women and 51% are international, representing 20 nationalities. They work in organizations of all sizes, both the private and public sectors, and some are entrepreneurs. Industries represented are retail, automotive, telecom, entertainment, manufacturing, life sciences, technology, finance, pharma and many more. Your class will be very diverse.

We actively strive for diversity in our classes. More diverse groups foster richer case discussions, broader perspectives, enhances learning, and stronger networks. There is no typical SSE MBA participant - each of you is special.
