The program is very rewarding both on the education level but also on the personal development level. -- Finance

The IMD MBA is a truly unique experience. It is very intense and inspiring from day one. IMD is organized to Swiss perfection in every aspect, every hour of the program, 10 months long: staff is world class, invited speakers are superb, supporting staff takes proactively 100% care, career service are perfect. Now, back in the job I never felt as confident and the stature of IMD MBA is recognized by most people that should know. The network of IMD alumni is active and truly powerful. -- Entrepreneurship
