Global MBA (English)

Emerging from the need of today's business professionals for creative thinking, teamwork, and a global contact network the Global MBA is a part-time program that can be followed from anywhere in the world. Aimed at young professionals, the Global MBA is ideal for those wanting to pursue their careers and an MBA concurrently; lasting 18 months, the program allows the maximum flexibility required to study and work at the same time. The title granted is identical to that given after studying a full-time MBA with IE.

A typical candidate for the Global MBA online program would have valuable work experience and would not wish to break their successful career by taking up to two years out to study an MBA on campus.

Using both the Global virtual campus (with asynchronous online sessions and live interactive video sessions) and established Global Community nodes (for presential learning and development), the Global MBA is second to none in modern business education.

The Global MBA experience is structured around progressive learning processes, starting with fundamentals of management know-how, followed by the integrattion of the different areas in order to gain an overall view of company management and to see the interrelations between each of them.

Using the Global MBA Portal, participants access the Asynchronous Online Sessions, conducted Monday through Thursday and Live Interactive Video Sessions conducted on Saturday, allowing them to participate in Learning & Development Programs from anywhere in the world.

In addition to providing geographic mobility, the Global MBA Portal introduces participants to The IE LINC Experience, an international network of peers, participants and members of the global communities.

Throughout the year Blended Sessions are offered in various cities all over the world, with students being required to attend at least two during the course of the program. Conducted over 2 days, blended sessions allow participants to experience management skills workshops, meet professors and other program participants and to network in person with the various Global Communities. These sessions also allow participants to experience other cities and cultures both on a business and a social level, as well as Community Integration Events, in which participants meet members of the regional business community and address current business challenges, both in the region and worldwide.

The Global MBA program at IE Business School provides all the tools for professional success in international business management and entrepreneurship. It is an innovative program that bridges the gap between geographical location and presential learning, maximizing the distance learning experience and preparing students for the requirements of a dynamic working environment.
