In 2015, MSM launched an Executive MBA program in Sports Management. This exciting program has not gone unnoticed by top athletes. Already since the start, quite some well-known Dutch sports players joined the program, like former professional football player Ronald Waterreus, and professional swimmer Joeri Verlinden.
The Executive MBA is set up in a flexible and convenient way so that you can balance of your career with your MBA study.
Joeri Verlinden is one of our students who proves that this is possible: “After missing the World Championships in July I’m extremely excited that last weekend, during the World Cup series in Eindhoven, I qualified for 3 butterfly events – 50m, 100m and 200m – for the European short course Championships coming December in Copenhagen (DEN). After 5 years of hard work I finally managed to do new best times, a very satisfying feeling to end my 2016/2017 swimming season. I’m really looking forward to the next couple of months where I will combine my MBA program at MSM with my full time swimming schedule to the best extent possible”.
