The strength of the Reykjavik University MBA lies in the exceptional quality of both the faculty and students, the international nature of the program, our strong ties with the business community and the emphasis on personal development. The goal is to develop responsible leaders who will have a positive influence on both businesses and society. Classes take place in the form of compressed modules from Thursday to Saturday, every other weekend. The MBA program begins with an intensive two-day seminar that emphasises team building and leadership, while providing students with a practical insight into the program ahead. Students who lack experience in the basics of math and accounting are required to attend preparatory seminars on those topics prior to the start of the programme. Students are offered preparation courses in Finance, English, Accounting and Excel.
