INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT
MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
MSM’s international management mentorship is a
platform to link our talented, experienced and diverse
group of MaastrichtMBA students on an individual basis
to representatives of the local and regional business
community and governmental institutions. This
match allows mentors and students to build mutually
benefi cial and durable networks and relationships. For
MaastrichtMBA students, the mentorship program
is a unique and much appreciated opportunity to
gain insights into for instance Dutch business and
governance knowhow. The initiative is also valued by
local representatives, who see it as a chance to broaden
their personal knowledge of foreign business cultures
and expertise. The precise content of the mentorship
is jointly determined by the mentor and the student.
Professional interaction is the main objective of the
mentorship; experience shows however that the most
durable and benefi cial relationships are most often built
in the cultural and social sphere. More than 20 senior
managers from organizations such as Obvion NV, Mayfran
International BV, ING Nederland, the City of Maastricht,
Maastricht University, DSM Innovation Center, the
Province of Limburg, are participating in the international
management mentorship program, which was one of the
