Executive MBA students from Nanjing University follow courses at MSM in Maastricht

Over the past weeks, we had the pleasure of hosting two cohorts of our joint Executive MBA programme with our esteemed partner Nanjing University (NJU).

The first cohort, consisting of 29 students of the Executive MBA in Healthcare Management, started their course ‘Innovation and Hatching in Healthcare’ on 28 April 2025. During the week they explored topics such as technological trends in healthcare, AI developments and service innovation.  Their academic experience was enriched with inspiring site visits to Johnson & Johnson, Brightlands, and the Healthcare Innovation Lab at Maastricht UMC+.

Shortly after saying goodbye to the students of the Executive MBA in Healthcare Management, we welcomed 39 students of the Executive MBA in Innovation Management on 5 May 2025.

These students immersed themselves in the course ‘Design Thinking and Creativity’, engaging in an intensive week of interesting lectures and insightful work visits to Proctor & Gamble in Brussels and Ford in Cologne.

Following a week filled with learning and exploration, both groups returned to Nanjing, equipped with new ideas and perspectives to apply in their professional roles.
