“Business School Netherlands now ranks among the best eleven business schools to study MBA programmes globally. It ranked no.11 out of over 150 MBA programmes that were thoroughly examined from all over the world. Thus, BSN outpaced over 138 excellent programmes from different continents of the world in terms of the quality of Faculty, learning environment, class sizes, tuition fees, faculty, delivery methods, international diversity, gender make-up and more.”

Business School Netherlands is located in the Netherlands, but has study centers in different locations across the globe, including Lagos, Abuja and Port-Harcourt. Commenting on this new ranking, Prof Lere Baale, said, “achieving 11th position out of a group of 85 Tier-One global universities and business schools is an immense source of pride for us and reaffirms our commitment to the innovative Action Learning and students-first approach. We are honoured to be recognized by the CEO Magazine for the fifth consecutive year.”

When asked why Business School Netherlands is rated so highly, Prof Lere Baale explained further: “in the last six years, international observers including CEO Magazine have taken note of our innovative curriculum and world-class faculty who are not mere professors but gladiators in the global business marketplace. Also noteworthy is the impressive career outcomes of our alumni. Many of them are securing investments from global venture capitalists, getting appointments and gaining fast promotions in Fortune 500 organizations and public sector appointments,” he said.

He commended BSN faculty and her staff across the globe on this remarkable achievement and encouraged them to continue their excellent work.
