Executive MBA+ in English

An innovative and flexible design, tailored to suit you

The Executive MBA+ benefits from an innovative design with a structure divided into a Core Period and a Module. The Core starts in April or November and covers the areas innate to an MBA program.  The Modules have various start dates and apply that knowledge to your area of interest. We offer various formats: face-to-face, part-time, bi-weekly, programs in English or Spanish.  You are free to study the Module in a language or format different from your Core. This way your master becomes a bilingual and /or multi-format program and your network doubles. Duration of the program might vary from 15 to 17 months depending on the format chosen.

The part-time format provides all the training you would expect from an MBA, while allowing you to balance your studies with your professional obligations and personal life. Many students work outside of Madrid, or of Spain, and the bi-weekly format makes it easier for them to integrate an intense travel schedule, share their professional knowledge with their classmates and apply what they learn in class to their daily work. 

The selection process and the degree that you get are exactly the same for the full-time and part-time programs. Admitted candidates are allowed to switch formats before they make a place reservation. 

Please keep in mind that IE operates on rolling admission so there is no deadline date to submit the application. Currently we are accepting applications for both April and November intakes. We recommend that you initiate your application process as far in advance as possible.
