Full Time MBA in Barcelona and around the world
The first year of the Full Time MBA program is taught exclusively at IESE’s Barcelona campus. However, during the summer, between the first and second years, students have the opportunity to do internships with companies around the world.
The second year is also focused on the Barcelona campus, but it includes two main options to make your Full Time MBA a global learning experience.
Executive MBA in Barcelona, Madrid, Munich, and São Paulo
The Executive MBA is designed so that participants can study at four of IESE’s campuses around the world. Check out the details and the different formats of the program in each city:
In addition, the EMBA includes international weeks in Nairobi, New York, São Paulo and Shanghai, which will allow you to experience first-hand what business ecosystems and perspectives on management are like in different cultures.
Global Executive MBA
The structure of the Global Executive MBA is designed to provide participants with a genuinely global vision of business management and a global learning experience.
The six modules that make up the core content of the program are taught in five leading business centres around the world: Barcelona, New York, Munich, Shanghai, and Silicon Valley.
In addition, the Global Executive MBA is completed with elective modules that can be taken in different cities on four different continents.
IESE’s MBA programs will prepare you to take on managerial roles in any sector and in any destination, and to confidently take the next steps in your career.
Because it is aimed at a younger audience, and it is a full-time program, the Full-Time MBA has a particularly strong focus on developing our students’ career paths. Thus, in the class of 2019, 94% of students had already accepted a job offer just three months after their graduation.
According to our latest Employment Report, the work placement of IESE MBA graduates in the technology sector has grown by 62% since 2017, with Amazon, Facebook and Google being the companies that hired the most last year.
In contrast, the Executive MBA and Global Executive MBA programs are part-time and participants usually combine them with their current jobs. These two MBA programs also provide you with the tools, knowledge, and resources you need to manage your career and successfully achieve the goals you set for your personal development and professional career.
