"After six years of a rewarding career as an engineer, I have to admit that I hesitated at the opportunity of doing an MBA at the ISEE (now EGP). Fortunately I made the right choice and today I recognise it as being one of the most beneficial decisions of my professional life. The MBA gave me a wide knowledge that filled gaps in my highly specialised training, opened up interesting career opportunities left me with good work habits and self-discipline, and the privilege to work and socialise with highly stimulating, friendly and helpful people. It went well beyond my original expectations."

"The EGP MBA is the most appropriate tool for those who like myself opted to follow a business career. The variety of the contents, its highly practical nature coupled with the possibility of comparing different company experiences and management practices, were essential complements to my training in economics.
The school's reputation and the opportunity it gave me to develop competencies in human resources (particularly time management!), decision making, teamwork and strategic planning, are benefits that I use every day in my work."

"There is no question of doubt that one of the best decisions of my life has been to do the EGP MBA. It was difficult to imagine the change it would have on my career. After completing the MBA and contrary to what I had planned, I decided to follow a completely different career, one that has entirely fulfilled my ambitions. With a degree in Nutritional Sciences and a career in the health sector, I sought to broaden my knowledge and competencies in management. This goal was entirely met not only due to the programme curriculum and methodology but also the quality and involvement of the faculty. Many of my former teachers are my friends today. Several years later and today with a career in management, I still seek their advice that has always been given with a smile. Programme colleagues are also part of the experience. Coming from different professional backgrounds and life experiences, they raise the overall quality of the programme. Today many of my former colleagues are real friends!"

"The year of my MBA was a learning experience that I remember as intense: strong technical management courses, the sharing of experiences, intensive training working in teams and resolving problems. Fifteen years later I am still regularly using the techniques and case studies that were studied at the time. Just as important and truly rewarding, is to have kept up personal and professional contacts with around half of my former colleagues."

"The ISEE (now EGP) MBA was a turning point in my career. At the end of 1999, I left the banking sector to become a manager at BA, a group with a highly attractive plan for future growth.
The variety of the courses content and the experiences of those, with whom I attended the MBA, enriched and complemented my training that had begun with a degree in Management. The team spirit that existed between students and teaching staff is something I remember fondly."
