MBA Internacional: Entrevista al Director de Programas

15 Mayo 2014

Tras la reciente reestructuración de nuestros programas MBA Full Time, MasterTaste nos ha contactado para que Nathan Lyons entreviste a nuestro Director de Programas, Jordi Díaz, y descubrir las claves que hacen a este programa único.

MasterTaste es un medio de comunicación especializado en la formación, concretamente en programas Master y MBA acreditados y presentes en los principales rankings internacionales. Su misión es la de ponerse en la posición del candidato y realizar todas aquellas preguntas que los candidatos tienen y que en ocasiones no aparecen en los videos promocionales de las escuelas. En resumen ir más allá de la información comercial y conocer realmente quién está detrás de cada institución y qué es lo que realmente les diferencia.
