Unique evaluation approach

There are no exams in the MBA-FSI. Instead, we will have the chance to prove your gained knowledge through take home assignments and a final project. This approach offers a unique added value for both you and your employer

Take Home Assignment

	A take home assignment is an individual research assignment that needs to be completed after each module. In a take home assignment, the participant applies the theoretical frameworks introduced during the module in his/her own business environment. Examples:
	Strategy analysis of the competitive environment of Bank X Implementation of a Balanced Scorecard in Insurance Company Y

Final Project

After the completion of all modules, participants are required to complete a final project, which is a practically oriented research project within their company. For this project, participants identify a problem/issue/opportunity within their company and elaborate on this using the knowledge achieved during all six modules. This project can be a specific project that is currently going on or that has been recently finalised, but it can also be future-oriented. Depending on the project theme, a faculty specialist will be nominated as the thesis coach and supervisor.

This approach does not only allow the participant to effectively digest the knowledge gained during the modules and apply them in practice, but also delivers a tremendous added value for the company where they are working. Apart from a motivated employee who learns to look across the borders of his/her own functional domain, the company also receives consultancy on important strategic, operational and financial issues from which it can benefit!

Overall Evaluation

The overall MBA-FSI grade (100 point scale) is based on the marks obtained for each of the six modules (6 x 10 points = 60 points) and the mark obtained for the final project (40 points). Module evaluations are unique for each module. However, in general, participants receive marks based on their level of individual participation (activity during the residential periods), the quality of group work and presentations, the quality of pre- and take home assignments, and the results of the business simulations.

Participants who have successfully completed each of the six residential modules as well as the final project receive an official MBA-FSI degree, recognised by the three organising universities at the graduation ceremony.
