Learning from diversity

A big part of the d.MBA experience is the amazing people in the program. It's learning together with -- and from -- talented, smart, and ambitious designers from around the globe. d.MBA students motivate, challenge, and inspire each other.

To ensure diversity of thought we limit the number of participants from the same organization to 10 per cohort. As we are running 3 cohorts of 50 students simultaneously it is possible to accept up to 30 people from one organization in every intake.
