Program structure & calendar
The AMP Barcelona is divided into four 1-week modules held over six months on IESE’s Barcelona campus.
The program is offered twice a year to suit your professional and personal agenda. The Fall Edition starts in November 2012 and the Spring Edition will start in March 2013.
At the end of the program, you receive a diploma — a valued credential in the corporate world — certifying that you have successfully completed the Advanced Management Program.

Module Workload
Before Each Modules: A package with pre-readings will arrive a month before the start of each residential week to give you time to prepare.
During Modules: Expect to be fully occupied with classes, study and organized social activities during the four residential weeks. Between lectures and teamwork sessions, you will spend around eight hours a day on IESE's campus, so try to leave work responsibilities at the office. Each class or case study will require about two hours’ advance preparation time.
Between Modules: When you are not on the IESE campus, you are preparing for the next residential week and working on your Cross-Program Project.
