​Currently, lifelong learning is no longer just a statement of intent for people interested in personal development, but a necessity due to the economic environment and the rapid changes it faces every day. Companies need professionals and leaders who have the ability to learn quickly and adapt to very different work styles. The skills you acquired 2-3 years ago are not enough, the experience acquired in the past may not be relevant in the new organizational context. In addition, human relationships are now taking on a new, even more important dimension, with telecommuting and accelerated digitalization affecting the way we interact.

In this extremely dynamic organizational context, your choice of an MBA program can be a decision to take a new step in your professional career and to reassess your management skills.

Now the program works in the format blended learning, courses are held on weekends, partly face-to-face (about 65%) and online (about 35%). This format has a number of advantages, such as:

• Interaction with teachers, peers and networking. While some of the learning takes place online, blended learning programs also facilitate interaction with peers and teachers in a physical environment. You have the opportunity to participate in classroom lectures, discussions, group projects and social events, allowing you to build valuable personal and professional relationships. These interactions can lead to the formation of strong networks of contacts and long-term cooperation.
• Combination of theory and practice. Blended learning allows for a more effective combination of theory and practice. You can learn basic concepts and theories online and then apply this knowledge in hands-on activities and case studies or in class discussions. This type of approach can help you better understand how to apply business concepts to real-world situations and develop the practical skills needed in the business world.

Starting this year, we intend to offer potential candidates a more flexible version of the program (Romanian-French IMDE MBA FLEX), which includes only 3-4 weekend courses/semester on campus (in the hall), the rest of the courses are online and include more individualized learning . The flexibility of this program will allow candidates with very busy schedules or candidates who live and work in other cities in Romania or abroad to obtain an MBA degree. Although the program involves less face-to-face interaction, the program has advantages such as:

• Flexibility. The INDE MBA FLEX format gives you the opportunity to study at a pace and a place that suits you. You will be able to access study materials online and review them according to your own schedule, without the need to be physically present on campus. This can be an attractive option if you have a busy schedule or live in another city/country.
• Access to experts and online resources. The program provides access to online resources and business experts. With the help of the online learning platform, you can take advantage of video lessons, study materials, discussions and collaboration with colleagues and teachers. This way, you can develop your knowledge and interact with industry experts even outside the campus.
• Development of technological skills. The program gives you the opportunity to develop your technological skills, which is important in today’s digital age. You will be introduced to various online learning platforms and tools, and learn to communicate, collaborate and manage information in a virtual environment. These technology skills can be useful in your career and make you more competitive in the job market.

Both types of programs benefit from a study visit to CNAM Paris, during which MBA students visit companies, participate in seminars and other organized activities (expenses related to the study visit are not covered by the program). The study visit is an opportunity to deepen the business culture of some organizations operating outside of Romania and to interact in a multicultural environment.

Among the advantages is that the graduates of the academic program Romanian-French INDE MBA BUY two diplomas: an MBA from CNAM Paris and a Master of Business Administration from ASE Bucharest. In addition, when you graduate, you will be part of a dynamic alumni community, united by frequent events.

Here are some thoughts from program graduates Romanian-French INDE MBA.

“I made the decision to pursue an MBA after several years of intense professional activity when I felt the urge to reach the next level. If you have an inquisitive nature, want to understand the mechanisms, want to act, accumulate knowledge and skills, the professional activity you have at the age of 30 cannot give you the volume and variety of knowledge that you can get during the study of a 2-year MBA done carefully. In a natural progression, you can acquire the same knowledge over several years if you are in an executive role with complex responsibilities – sometimes even if the share capital structure or size of the company does not match your aspirations. Then comes the application of the skills acquired in the MBA, which can contribute to accelerated personal development, including through easy transition from one job to another, to the progress of the business both through increased turnover and through methods of optimizing costs, processes, efficiency of supplier management , so that you can better understand outsourced work with tangible benefits for the company where you work.”

Adela Jansen, CCIFER Vice President, ASE Associate Professor.

“It was a balanced combination between a solution for personal development, a medium-term opportunity to interact with professionals from different industries and with different professional experience, as well as a new way to implement management and communication skills. During my two years of study, I had numerous and amazing opportunities to learn new things about the business environment in Romania, as well as personal limitations that were pushed further and further. For those who want to better understand how a business works, how it can grow or become more profitable, more market-oriented or more attractive to employees and investors, I strongly recommend this program, which can also be a catalyst for their own professional development.”

Luiza Domnisoru, Head of Communications at Revolut Romania

“Choosing this program was quite difficult, but the determining factor was the presence of the program on the AMBA accredited list, as well as its worldwide recognition. It was clear to me from the very beginning that the level of this program is very high, which made me want to learn as much as possible and then use it at work. For me, the course “Strategy” was extremely important, within it I was able to open new ways of development and apply flexible planning in almost all segments of the business in which I work, and this fact led to growth in all departments where I managed to integrate it.”

Gheorghe Marian, Regional Sales Manager, Lemken
