Dutch business school launches Executive MBA in Water Management

Starting in January 2011, RSM and Wetsus will offer the higher management education course to companies in the water business. With a strong emphasis on leadership development in an international environment, the aim of the EMBA Water Specialisation programme is to reflect and further expand on issues related to water quality, distribution and availability.

The first two terms of the Executive MBA Programme will take place at RSM. The third term, specialising in the water business, will be modular in format and will take place at Wetsus in Leeuwarden. The In-Company project, supervised by an RSM faculty member, will be on specialised water topics.

“All indicators show us that there will be a global, severe water shortage,” said Prof Dr George Yip, Dean of RSM. “We therefore need to focus on this broad, complex issue, and help solve it by providing the necessary management and leadership skills to people working in the water management business.”
