In their own words: our students on the Executive MBA in Food & Agribusiness
''The Executive MBA (EMBA) at TIAS, in combination with the Food & Agri track at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), was the perfect match for me. Aside from the EMBA piece, it also has a strong society component. Here, leadership is about truly understanding how business and society can reinforce each other for the greater good, and is about bringing people together to actually realize these transitions.”
