In the second residency of the executive MBA, everything was much more familiar. You know what to expect in the lessons, at least in the programs we already had before, and I already know a large part of the class. On the first day of each residency, you are assigned a new seat, which has the advantage of providing you with the opportunity to get to know each other even better within the class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helps you to make connections and remember the topics more easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the third residency, we will have four new subjects: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
