Programme overview

This MSc is a full-time programme with eight months of courses followed by work experience or a research project.

  • Our one-year multi-campus programme is designed for future global business leaders, providing students with the necessary general management and multicultural skills and knowledge.  
  • The same disciplines are taught in each campus, with strong localisation relevant to the location. The autumn semester focuses on globalisation and the way that the region —the Americas, Asia or Europe— deals with globalisation. In the spring semester, course content on each campus is totally specific to the region.
  • Our professors come from all around the globe. They are entrepreneurs, innovators, research directors, CEOs, VPs of marketing, directors of finance; and they have worldwide reputations in their fields.
  • Classes are small enough to be truly interactive and provide a multicultural experience, allowing for close personal contact with teachers and classmates. In recent years, MSc IB classes have been made up of students of some 25, or so, countries. This highly international class composition transforms projects and team work into valuable cross-cultural working and learning experiences
  • ​The teaching approach is applied and participatory: real projects with businesses are carried out so students are operational, employable managers by the time they graduate.
