Newsletter #5/2016

MSM Dean Wim Naudé

As we were preparing for the start of our new Maastricht-Suffolk Executive MBA in Ipswich, Boston and Maastricht, we received the good news that our partner UCS has been accredited as a fully-fledged new university, and from 1 August will be the University of Suffolk. The Maastricht-Suffolk Executive MBA is one in a line of innovative education programs that we have been pursuing at MSM to push the envelope of management education, and to deliver graduates that will offer a wholly unique set of - much needed- competencies to employers.  Another example that you can read about in this newsletter is the expansion of our collaboration with RWTH Aachen University. In innovation management, engineering and management, and water management, we are redrawing the map of management education. All of this is supported by our research drive: read here about the special issue of the International Journal of Water that has been co-edited by one of our professors, and various other publication initiatives that our enterprising faculty are undertaking.
