Personal comments
Fluency in English communication and writing skills were prerequisites for the MBA at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. Additionally, during the program, my confidence has grown concerning academic writing, comprehension and presentation skills. The everyday interaction with students and professors working on business case studies enhanced my ability to absorb, interpret and assess the most relevant information.
