Course objectives

The MMBR distinguishes itself through a strong and above-average focus on research.

MMBR graduates can shorten the PhD programme offered by the CDSB by one year.

At the same time, the MMBR ideally prepares students for careers in quantitative areas of business (e.g., investment banking, analysts, market research, logistics, and supply chain optimisation).
