Luxury: a passion, a career, a network
I wanted to be able to study and work at the same time. The Online MBA is a flexible programme - with a bit of organisation, it's possible to do both. As the programme is online, the students taking the courses come from different countries, so our conversations are always very rich. An international perspective on luxury subjects is always a plus.
