MBA in International Management

The MBA in International Management provides young professionals with the business skills and mindset for a successful international career. You will join a cohort of students from around the world with diverse educational and professional backgrounds to develop highly-valuable skills in leadership. 

During the 10 to 34 months of your MBA, you will explore various topics through core modules and a specialisation, for a total of around 500 teaching hours.

The Core Modules are taught from September to May on two campuses (Paris and Berlin or London) or online. They are followed by a Specialisation from June to July, taking place in Madrid, in Turin or online, based on the theme selected. Finally, July and August are dedicated to the redaction of the Thesis, a compulsory component of the programme that should reflect the experience and learnings acquired during the MBA.

For those studying online, courses take place at the end of each week, at a convenient time for all time zones (around European lunchtime) in order to allow professionals to continue working while pursuing their MBA. Each course is synchronous (live) for the opening and closing, asynchronous (recorded) for the rest of the module, and runs in parallel with the on-campus cohort.

The mindset of the core curriculum can be described as multicultural, entrepreneurial, strategic, sustainable, collaborative and fostering leadership. Subjects such as Data & Business, Sustainability & Entrepreneurship, Finance, Economics, Strategic Leadership or Marketing are part of it.

The Specialisation allows students to dive deeper into a specific subject of their choice:

• Consulting

• Entrepreneurship

• Luxury

• Fintech & Innovation
