Selection/Orientation
Success as a global business leader requires advanced cosmopolitanism, profound awareness of real-life issues, and both passion and ambition to take the initiative in overcoming economic, social and corporate challenges. In order to select students with the potential to develop these qualities, we undertake a holistic evaluation of candidates’ capacity to think deeply, demonstrate strong awareness and understanding of real-life issues, communicate actively with those around them, and formulate new insights and approaches.
