As a consultant, this MBA was a real differentiator for me as it shows that my experience is backed up academically. My favourite part about the Ducere MBA was the industry projects where I got the chance to apply my learnings in a real environment with actual clients. The projects provided exposure to different leadership approaches and provided an opportunity to make real impact.
