IE Business School is famous for its hands-on approach to learning, and the adventure of our Global Immersion Month typifies our teaching methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you at the tipping point before the plunge? We\u2019re going to offer another reason to study our International MBA by explaining our groundbreaking Global Immersion Month. It\u2019s what makes our course one the best MBA programs in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-good-mba-programs-in-europe-utilize-their-location-to-push-your-cultural-perspective\">Good MBA programs in Europe utilize their location to push your cultural perspective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know the idea of your typical MBA. Business administration, leadership classes, case study analysis. All necessary, but they\u2019re firmly inside your comfort zone. According to our good friend Lao Tzu, \u201ca scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be a scholar.\u201d Yes, an entire month out of practical study is daunting. But that\u2019s exactly why it builds character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Immersion Month is a period of self-discovery which will catapult your professional development. You\u2019ll explore different cities and a series of unique, immersive classes. It\u2019s necessary to participate on-location\u2014you\u2019ll meet academic experts and enjoy insights on the local business landscape. That really opens the door to international recruitment opportunities. Yes, it&#8217;s an optional part to the program which we include in the second term of your studies. But there&#8217;s no doubting its benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/mba-business-administration-1024x653.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/mba-business-administration-1024x653.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/mba-business-administration-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/mba-business-administration-150x96.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/mba-business-administration-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/mba-business-administration-1170x746.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/mba-business-administration-585x373.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/mba-business-administration.jpg 1254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-embark-on-a-curated-academic-journey-that-helps-to-define-the-right-direction-for-you\">Embark on a curated academic journey that helps to define the right direction for you.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it intense? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely. According to one of our most recent participants of the Global Immersion Month in St. Gallen, &#8220;This has been a very transformative experience, I&#8217;ve been able to take home the connections I have formed, the cultural experience and the immersion that we are experiencing is something I&#8217;m going to take home with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-believe-ie-business-school-s-philosophy-has-formed-one-of-the-best-mba-programs-in-europe-and-the-world\">We believe IE Business School\u2019s philosophy has formed one of the best MBA programs in Europe and the world<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We firmly believe that lasting change comes from pushing yourself beyond your known capabilities.

Switzerland is home to a truly dynamic set of industries; the Swiss economy grew by 1.9% on average in the lead up to 2022, with its real GDP growth being 2.7% in the same year. It\u2019s a place where business opportunities and culture are available in equal measures. That\u2019s what made it the perfect escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the business side of things, our International MBA students enjoyed a range of academic activities and workshops, including a talk on Swiss banking and finance landscapes, trading room sessions and company visits to the Roche and Novartis headquarters. We also enjoyed insights into the Swiss luxury sector. A highlight of the month was a workshop on how to communicate effectively, where students honed their presentation skills with stage-acting techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/best-mba-in-europe-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/best-mba-in-europe-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/best-mba-in-europe-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/best-mba-in-europe-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/best-mba-in-europe-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/best-mba-in-europe-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/best-mba-in-europe-585x439.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/best-mba-in-europe.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-international-mba-is-for-connection-builders-seeking-to-engage-with-peers-industry-experts-and-international-companies\">The International MBA is for connection builders seeking to engage with peers, industry experts and international companies.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For pleasure, we enjoyed tours of the Abbey Library, sessions on cheesemaking and a boat trip past attractions including the world-famous chocolate factory at Kilchberg.
