'This MBA is for anyone who is ready to take on a challenge'

Naadiya Ismail: 'I am a chartered accountant and I’ve worked as an accountant for many years. And I have a very deep knowledge, specifically of IFRS. But the MBA, I find, gives me a very broad expertise. The Amsterdam MBA is very dynamic compared to more traditional, rigid MBAs. The lecturers give a good balance between academic and practical knowledge and the insights are easily and readily applicable to work.
