Global Online MBA - Blended Methodology

We bring education to you, so you can get the most out of it. Our approach isn’t just online or on campus – it’s blended.

Blended Methodology allows one of our approaches to not just be online or on campus, but blended.

We align and combine the best of technology, pedagogy and our worldclass faculty, so you can experience multi-layered learning in a multi-faceted environment.

Online periods – Through our virtual campus and our WOW Room, you get a challenging and highly interactive educational experience. The well-structured, faculty-led sessions fit into the modern professional’s busy schedule and can be accessed anywhere there’s an internet connection. Engage with other global professionals in synchronous and asynchronous sessions including interactive small groups where you work on real-world, industry-based case studies.

• Live Sessions – On Saturdays, you will connect live to engage in a discussion about the topic determined for that day. These Saturday sessions are truly an extension of the traditional classroom experience, allowing you to negotiate and collaborate with your classmates in the same classroom, despite being seated all around the globe.
• Asynchronous online discussions – The forums offer the possibility to participate in the faculty-led asynchronous sessions every week from Monday to Thursday. Professors will moderate these written discussions about chosen topics in order to achieve the learning objectives.

Face-To-Face Periods* – get to know your diverse classmates even more through all-day workshops and classes that further develop your soft skills and teamwork. Although in-person participation in these periods is entirely optional with our 100% online program, we encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to explore Madrid after class and join all the different networking events available every night.

Global Immersion Week – Participate in an optional face-to-face week around the world to discover a different destination and learn about the local business environment and interact with other IE cohorts from some other of our Blended programs. In the past, these destinations have included: San Francisco, Sao Paolo, Singapore, Miami, Shanghai, & Mumbai.

*Virtual face-to-face periods allow you to virtually get to know your classmates on a more personal level. After class, you’re free to attend virtual networking events or take some time for yourself.
