Studying at a top-class university in the city of good taste

The international Procurement Leadership Program takes place in Maastricht and is developed in conjunction with UMIO, the executive branch of Maastricht University School of Business and Economics. Internationally renowned professors from different fields and Universities, including Program Director Prof. Dr. Frank Rozemeijer, will deliver the six modules of the program. They will be supported by guest speakers who are leading professionals in their fields.

Comprehensive, balanced program

At the core of the PLP are six modules that thoroughly introduce you to a number of relevant management fields. The modules are designed to be interactive, meaning that you will be able to share your knowledge and experience with academic staff and guest lecturers from the business community, and instantly translate theory into your practice.

Enlightening study trip to Stockholm

One particularly interesting element of the Procurement Leadership Program is the three-day study trip to Stockholm, Sweden. The Finance module will be taught by an internationally acclaimed Accounting & Finance Professor of Stockholm School of Economics. You will receive new insights from leading guest speakers and you will visit a Swedish multinational company.

Study load

The Procurement Leadership Program consists of six modules of 2.5 days each. During each module, professors and eminent guest lecturers will share their knowledge and experience. In addition, the program offers five coaching sessions to increase your personal effectiveness as a leader. This program is an international program that uses English as the language of instruction.
