Executive Education at SBE is provided via our two executive branches: UMIO and the Maastricht School of Management.
Our two executive branches compliment and strengthen each other. While both branches are internationally oriented and have a broad scope of expertise, UMIO’s network is concentrated primarily in Europe, while MSM has particular expertise and a broad network in emerging economies.
UMIO
UMIO takes a highly personal and resourceful approach to learning by adopting Maastricht University’s renowned “Problem Based Learning” (PBL) as their leading philosophy. Within a rich network of academic experts, business-savvy professionals, and talented students, UMIO creates dynamic, small-scale learning environments that ensure invigorating insights and practical outcomes for the challenges at hand.
UMIO is driven by a strong desire to create impact together. They help individuals and organisations adopt an innovative way of thinking that allows them to gain that competitive edge. UMIO’s learning journeys consist of MBA programmes, executive masters, management courses, and innovation projects. They also design customised programmes together with professional teams and organisations worldwide.
