“The Executive MBA has broadened my personal horizons immensely. It was the Virtual Team Project in particular which sharpened my sensibilities in working with people from different backgrounds and points of view. For me as a lawyer, the general management focus of the program enabled me to hold new exciting positions within my company: From Assistant to the Management Board to Head of Group HR Mobility Management.”

"From what I have experienced in the course of my studies, the Executive MBA is definitely an investment that offers high returns due to the one-of-a-kind networking opportunities, both with faculty and managers from leading companies worldwide. Moreover, the three field trips provided "hands-on" experiences in the most dynamic international markets.
Today, I am a CEO of a premium kitchen manufacturer and fully convinced that the knowledge and tools acquired during the program were highly valuable professional assets and played a strong and decisive role in the competitive advantage of my candidacy."

"Reflecting my future career development, it became evident that it will be vital in today’s fast changing business environment to further develop my management skills to move forward in my career. This MBA was the right solution. After a comprehensive research of different MBA programs, I chose the WU Executive MBA program for a number of reasons. First, it had the reputation of being one of the leading MBA programs in the CEE region and Europe. Second, the program was thought by the leading international professionals with profound practical experience. Third, the program also covered hands on training including case studies with a strong international emphasis. Finally, my peers were students bringing diverse professional and cultural backgrounds into the class."
