Research that matters and that strives for a positive impact on the world

As an excellent management school, we want to remain at the forefront of business innovation and transformation. Thanks to our extensive research team, we stay on top of business, management and organization science. We achieve this by both creating new knowledge through research and bringing about effective changes together with our partners. Thus, our ambition is clear: “Opening minds to impact the world”.

Three pillars that make us stand out as a business school

We motivate our students to create sustainable value by becoming Global Citizens, mastering the art of decision-making and leading people. To accomplish this mission, Antwerp Management School delivers state-of-the-art management knowledge, anchored in a business and organizational context. This is the fundamental basis on which we put three value pillars that we believe are needed to become Global Citizens:

1. Self-Awareness

That leads to better cooperation with others. All our programs offer specific tracks to improve your leadership and personal development skills.

2. Global Perspective

That leads to ingenuity for providing adequate and responsible solutions to problems and issues.

3. Societal Consciousness

Which contributes to the development of a sustainable society.

The PhD program for Executives here at AMS is fantastic. You get to know a lot of exciting peers, industry experts and professors from all over the world. Combined with fast response times and strong support from my PhD promoters makes it a well-tailored program fitting my situation as a busy manager. I’m very happy that I made the right choice.
