I would like to say I am absolutely fully satisfied with the way all the things went during my one-year study at Maastricht School of Management (MSM) in the Netherlands. Despite the study duration being short (ie one year only), due to the highly professional nature of the management and delivery of courses, my learning and intellectual growth have far surpassed what I ever expected. I must say I am fully satisfied with the quality of education that I got at MSM. MSM is a world-class globally networked management school, with over 50 years of well-founded experience and a reputation for excellence in management education. This is complemented by the close personal support and homely atmosphere created by the faculty members and administration at all levels. I do, therefore, strongly recommend the MSM for those truly willing to work hard and who want to acquire a premier management education and a world-class MBA degree. It is said that 'the end of education is character'. I do strongly believe that I have acquired true 'intellectual character' that will allow me to become a world-class manager or administrator.

'A world-class, globally networked management school.'

Why did you choose Maastricht School of Management?
I chose Maastricht School of Management (MSM) because of its international student body, its faculty and its concentration on e-business. In addition, I also chose the School because of its central location in western Europe, and because I had been to Maastricht before and I knew it was a very international city.

What do you think about the MBA programme?
MSM's MBA provides you with a solid foundation with which to tackle the international business world. I did not have any formal business education prior to attending the School, but now I can comfortably talk business strategy with MBAs from the world's best management schools.

What has the MBA brought to you?
Attending the MBA programme brings you an enlightened global business perspective that few schools can offer. I benefited greatly from collaborating on projects with my colleagues from all over the world. I have continued to collaborate with many of my colleagues since graduation, and I have learned to use my global contact network that was made possible by attending MSM.

'A spectacular mix of international student body, faculty and e-business concentration.'
