We are just wrapping up the first week of the Full-Time MBA<\/a> programme here at Frankfurt School, and our students are off to a great start. As the MBA Programme Director, I got to know everyone in the class during the admission process, particularly during the Assessment Centre interviews. But what a delight it is to see everyone finally come together on campus to embark on their 15-month MBA journey.<\/p>\n

International <\/strong><\/h3>\n

For me, one of the most exciting features of our current MBA cohort<\/a> is how internationally diverse it is. At the MBA Opening Day last Friday, the room was filled with the sounds of Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German and, of course, English \u2013 the programme\u2019s language of instruction.
\nExperienced professionals from 17 different countries chose to join our programme, and I believe this will add an invaluable dimension to the case-study assignments they will be working on in class. There\u2019s no better way to prepare for a management career in today\u2019s globalised world than to exchange ideas and perspectives with peers from around the world.<\/p>\n

Interactive <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Immediately following the MBA Opening Day, I accompanied the class to an off-site Leadership Camp. We enjoyed an action-packed weekend of team-building games, problem-solving experiments, communication exercises, and more. It was great to see everyone learning new skills and identifying lessons that will aid them in the coming months. Each activity involved close interaction and cooperation. These experiences will certainly come in handy as, thanks to our MBA\u2019s small cohort size, our students will have countless opportunities to collaborate with and learn from each other throughout their studies.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
