What is the purpose of the core courses?
The core courses are the compulsory element of the Programme. They cover all the key management disciplines and functions and serve as a foundation for the elective courses and a preparation for the summer internship. The core courses are usually taught in three-hour periods (including a short intermission) once a week for 10 weeks. The core courses begin with a leadership module, which introduces you to issues and concerns in global general management. The rest of the core courses cover different business functions and disciplines with care taken to help you ‘make the link’ between the different perspectives covered. The courses are sequenced so that there is a logical progression between subjects preparing you for summer internship interviews, especially in finance and consulting, which typically take place in January, some time before other internship interviews.
