Alumni
"My time in the MBA has been exciting and interesting"
Updating your knowledge
The MBA is in many ways much more than a two-year graduate course. The alumni association, aptly named RUMBA, gives students that have graduated with an Executive MBA from Reykjavik University an opportunity to maintain, and grow, the invaluable network they established during their time together at RU.
RUMBA
The alumni association emphasises giving MBA alumni a chance to maintain and grow the valuable network formed by attending the programme. By joining the association alumni have the chance to nurture friendships and connections to Reykjavik University.
Annual conference
RUMBA hosts a well-attended conference each year. Prominent individuals from industry describe their experiences and relate practical knowledge on a relevant topic, usually about the nature of leadership and important global trends.
Keeping in touch and having fun
RUMBA also hosts various events to pick and choose from such as lectures by former MBA professors, company visits and talks, and social events.
“I applied for an MBA at RU to harness its excellent network within the business sector. Given the highly competitive nature of RU’s MBA selection process, I knew my cohort would feature ambitious and brilliant people who would motivate and inspire me, and from whom I could learn a great deal. In many ways my MBA experience has exceeded my expectations. I have acquired new skills, further developed my talents as a manager and forged lifelong friendships along the way.”
