The student view

The culture at ISM facilitates success by motivating students while providing the individual support they may need.

The entrepreneurship course I took at ISM was pivotal. The professor was able to create a shift in the how we viewed innovation and entrepreneurship.

Having an international DBA with ISM allows me to make an impact globally.

Studying at ISM is a great way to learn, see the world, and expand your international network.

I've been able to study with 18 different nationalities in a group of 20 students. The diversity of opinions and perspectives is truly remarkable.

ISM offers flexibility without compromising the quality of the academic experience.

I found it very helpful that you can break your coursework into manageable amounts so you can really focus on the coursework, but also continue to have a normal work and family life.

ISM is very hands-on with the development of its students and creates professionals destined for greater horizons.

Going through ISM, and the contacts that I made, gave me the opportunity to get my dream job with my dream company in London. This definitely would not have happened if I had not finished my MBA at ISM.

The small class sizes help us connect to the professors.
