Good news: NVAO accreditation for our executive MBA and Master of M&A and Valuation!

The Executive Master of Business Administration and the Executive Master of M&A and Valuation have just received good news. Both these master programmes, offered by the University of Groningen Business School, have been accredited by the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO).
