“Having worked a few years in the IT industry, I felt that the lack of business knowledge restrained me from catapulting into something bigger. That’s when I decided to come to WHU. And there’s been no looking back since. The MBA program prides itself in imparting quality education employing a dynamic mix of classroom sessions, working in student teams allowing for developing interpersonal skills, cracking case studies, brainstorming new business ideas and allowing for some leisure time to indulge-in as well. Add to that, an international perspective that comes from classmates from different nations and with varied levels of experience, exchange programs with Ivy league B-schools around the world and the feeling of being at one of the best business schools in the world and calling it “alma mater”.”
