International Executive MBA

Master list

Unique, excellent and innovative

The International Executive MBA Bi-weekly is aimed at professionals with relevant experience, who wish to combine high-level academic training with their professional and personal lives.

Even though International Executive MBA Bi-weekly Program students already occupy top-level positions, this program aims to complete their overall vision, developing the skills they need to lead teams and participate in strategic decision making. This is achieved through interaction and collaboration with other students, who offer extensive experience in other areas and sectors.

Intensive

The International Executive MBA Bi-weekly offers maximum flexibility by holding classes on alternate weekends for the 13 months of the program. This makes it the ideal option for professionals who wish to balance their personal and professional lives, or whose professional and personal demands or place of residence mean they have a complicated travel schedule.

The intake starts at the beginning of November, and classes are held Fridays (9.00 – 20.00), Saturdays (9.00 – 15.00), and 8-10 additional Thursdays (9.00 – 20.00) spread out throughout the program.

The estimated workload, in addition to class time, is 15-20 hours per week.

International

Innovation is one of IE Business School’s core characteristics and this is reflected in the "Learning Through Context (LTC)" international program.

Entrepreneurial

IE Business School is fully committed to fostering the entrepreneurial spirit.
