We\u2019ve now seen more than15 cohorts pass through our doors, with the average enrollee having around 16 years practicing in their respective industries. We ask for a minimum of 10 years of experience to ensure a diverse set of perspectives within the cohort. The course provides a potent mix of online learning and valuable in-person experiences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As detailed by Program Director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/brendan-mcnally-19818413\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brendan McNally<\/a> in a recent podcast with <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/poetsandquants\/the-benefits-of-a-european-mba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Poets and Quants<\/a>, the two schools contribute their own strengths to the master: \u201cIE [Business School] delivers most of the core business courses that we provide in the program.
