Newsletter #5/2018

Introduction

We would like to welcome you back from the summer break with our first newsletter after the holidays. We have kept busy here at MSM and we can look back on the delivery of the successful summer specialization courses. Students from the full-time MBA, Executive MBA and Online MBA joined these classes, plus around 55 participants from our partner network. We also very much look forward to the upcoming weeks, these are spent with preparations for the MSM annual Graduation Ceremony which will take place on the 20th of September. We will be welcoming around 140 graduates at MSM for this festive event as this is the highlight for our students celebrating their achievement! Soon after, on the 1st of October we will be welcoming the new students joining the MSM family during the official Opening of the Academic Year 2018-2019. Follow our social media channels to stay updated!
