The MBA-MCI programme has been developed by FHNW based on the existing MBA programme of FHNW (90 ECTS; European Credit Transfer System), which is ongoing since 1992. It has been established as a cooperation between the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland and the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology. The MBA-MCI is delivered at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
We cover three main pillars of competency, which are Management Consulting, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. We aim to:
Improve and sharpen essential leadership skills for CEOs or managers in the Economy 4.0
Review and improve the knowledge of leadership’s business management.
Build and enhance domestically and internationally potential business network.
The programme covers all relevant aspects of general management and international management consulting, ranging from management consulting principles to the individual phases of the consulting process to strategic management consulting. A second focus is on innovation and entrepreneurship.
