The MDP Edge
What makes us different...
Industry Experience
MDP advisors work on live projects with real-life clients. This allows them to develop relevant skills for the modern workplace while building an impressive portfolio of experience across various industries and business disciplines.
Action Learning
The practical nature of the MDP is based on the principle of action learning, which allows students to apply their knowledge to real-life business issues in order to effectively solve problems and create business-building strategies.
The MDP Network
The MDP offers access to an unrivaled network of ex-advisors, mentors, clients, opportunities, and lifelong friends. Students don’t just join the MDP, they join a larger community.
