International MBA

When you’re choosing something as important as a career, there are so many options and so much information. In the International MBA, we help you cut through the noise. Let us help you get to know yourself better, explore your options and get on the career path that’s right for you. Using the insight gleaned from our connections to the business community and analysis of the labor market, we help you curate your future-proof career path and sharpen the skill set that recruiters are looking for. Find what’s best for you and pursue it with confidence.

What does it take to change the world? Your impact depends on your ideas, behavior and digital skills. No matter the context, top companies, startups and social enterprises strive to find people who can make big things happen; professionals who can harness available resources to forge solutions to real-world challenges. From creative thinking to alliance building and data-driven decision-making, the International MBA will give you what you need to become a high-impact business professional.

When it comes to massive societal challenges ranging from climate change to inequality, there’s no question that the business community will play a pivotal role. What that role will look like depends on the people who are driving companies and sectors forward—people like you. That’s why we are passionate about guiding you to find your deeper purpose, refine it, align it with your career and make the world a genuinely better place. It’s not a platitude; it’s our commitment.

Receive one-on-one support to set your career goals, shape a targeted job-search strategy and optimize your CV, LinkedIn profile and cover letters. You’ll benefit from expert insight into industries, functions and global markets, as well as a Career Success Course and hands-on training sessions and bootcamps to strengthen your career development.

Engage directly with recruiters and employers through on-campus presentations, global virtual events and career fairs. Build connections with IE Alumni and clubs to discover new opportunities and insights.

Leverage premium, AI-powered career tools to research roles, prepare for interviews and enhan.

At its core, business is about problem-solving – and the toughest problems aren’t always obvious. That’s why we train you to think creatively, ask the right questions, and analyze situations from new perspectives. 

You’ll develop the critical, analytical, and logical thinking needed to cut through complexity. We design scenarios where you’ll learn to think on your feet, bring people together with empathy and persuasion, and lead under pressure. How you think becomes a habit. Our program will encourage mental strength and agility, to keep you ahead of the game.

Impact is built moment by moment, through your actions and interactions. Just like muscles, behaviors can be trained to make you more positive, productive, and impactful. 

Through realistic simulations and real-world challenges, you’ll learn how to navigate conflicts, influence others, and inspire teams under pressure. You’ll experiment with new ways of working and selling your ideas. As a leader of tomorrow, you’ll learn how to bring the best out of others – and yourself.

For any recruiter today, digital fluency is a must-have. You don’t need to know how to code, but understanding how to use data to your advantage is key. 

You’ll learn how to collect, analyze, and visualize data to make your case and sell your ideas. We’ll teach you to turn raw data into actionable insights and make better business decisions. No matter your career path, you’ll graduate with the tools to lead confidently in a digital-first world. 

Understanding how better business practices can improve lives and protect the environment is one of the cornerstones of the International MBA. We call this Sustainable Business. As part of your program at IE Business School, you’ll learn about the key concepts that underpin Sustainable Business, including the energy transition, regenerative business and how to apply sustainable practices to every function within an organization. Ensuring sustainability sits at the heart of business progress is part of our mission; we’ll show you the essential ways to make it part of yours, too.

Employing business skills to tackle social issues requires an entrepreneurial mindset. We call this Social Entrepreneurship, an approach designed to leverage the power of entrepreneurial thinking to find innovative solutions to enduring problems. Overcoming challenges is integral to a career in business. The same skills that allow you to thrive under the pressure of a tight deadline or an impossible KPI can be brought to bear on the issues that affect us all. We’ll empower you to make an impact beyond the workplace and amplify the benefit you bring to society at large.

At IE Business School, we believe the people you work with are as important as the results you deliver; we call this Working Well. Shaping a positive, inclusive workplace focused on employee satisfaction is key to creating an environment where people can thrive. Graduates of the International MBA understand that well-being is no longer a bonus but integral to any team’s success. We’ll help you become a business professional who recognizes the power of diverse, inclusive teams, who prioritizes the well-being of colleagues and harnesses the power of positive leadership
