What MaastrichtMBA does

MaastrichtMBA is a part-time executive MBA programme operated by UMIO, the executive education branch of Maastricht University School of Business and Economics (SBE), a public Dutch university headquartered in Maastricht, Netherlands. Founded in 1999, the programme has been running for over 25 years and serves mid-career professionals with an average of 14-15 years of work experience, offering two delivery formats: the Executive On-Campus MBA (€34,500 total tuition, eight modules over 18-24 months) and the Executive Online MBA (€29,500 total tuition, ten online courses plus three on-site elective weeks). The curriculum is built on Maastricht's signature Problem-Based Learning methodology and awards a Master of Science degree (70 ECTS) covering core modules in corporate finance, entrepreneurship, international business, organisational change, and strategic management, with three elective tracks in Digital Business, Responsible Leadership, and Sustainable Innovation, plus a required Business Consulting Project thesis and a Leadership Development Trajectory.

Revenue is derived entirely from tuition paid by individual students or corporate sponsors, collected in six instalments over two years, with no external investment, no M&A activity, and no venture funding. Go-to-market is application-based and direct, using a multi-step admissions process (€200 application fee, motivation letter, CV, references, admission test, intake interview with the MBA Director, and committee review) supplemented by Click & Connect webinars, on-campus Class Experience events, brochure downloads, and a resume review service.
