Introduction
The reasons for pursuing an MBA are as numerous as they are diverse. In the end, the net result for all those making the journey is the same: their professional skills have improved, regardless of their job description and responsibilities. They have learned new ways of looking at their responsibilities and their challenges. They have added new theories, models, insights, techniques and capabilities to their skillset that help them meet those challenges head-on. These skills are recognized around the world: an MBA from a renowned institute is a universally accepted token of ability, skill and tenacity that opens doors to career opportunities that were previously out of reach.
The highlights of the TIAS MBA:
- Benefit from the latest business knowledge and strategic insights.

- Become an all-round, responsible leader by exploring social aspects that go beyond traditional management standards.
- Learn more about strategy development and implementation.
