The MBA in Purpose Economy is meant for business professionals who are aiming for purpose and growth for themselves and the company or organisation they work in. The programme prepares professionals to be leaders for current and future challenges in business and find solutions that benefit both organizations and society, instead of focusing on financial value alone. The MBA enables you to take your managerial competencies to a higher level and engage with professionals in an international environment. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals take a central place in this. This MBA is offered both part-time (2 years) and full-time (18 months).
This MBA is meant for professionals with a bachelor's degree and a minimum of three years of relevant managerial work experience, either within a company, non-profit or governmental organisation, or NGO. Work experience is required for this programme as this greatly contributes to the content and impact of the study. The MBA helps professionals to lead with integrity and in compliance with the principles of good corporate governance.

Waarom aan de Hanze?
Today's business environment asks for leadership with integrity and purpose: companies need to be led by managers who can ensure there is a balance between the interests of the company and those of the world around them in the broadest sense. The MBA in Purpose Economy is developed in order to teach prospective managers the competences that come with the new economic realities.
The MBA programme is offered both full-time (1,5 years) and part-time (2 years). The different work backgrounds of your fellow professionals add value to the classes and make for a unique environment through which you can expand your horizon.At the International Business School, our mission is to educate and inspire our students to become responsible managers who are accountable for the consequences of their ideas, actions and behaviour – both as individuals and as part of a team or an organisation. The MBA programme teaches you to run business processes, while taking into account the social and environmental impact. You will not just develop your consultancy competences, but are equipped with professional skills to manage and implement innovative business models.
The programme will take you through three major phases of learning in order to help you ingrain the new business strategies and models.
The programme is divided into four capstones which are linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Each study period centres around one capstone.
