AFEWWORDSFROMOURDEAN

Martin Boehm Associate Dean, Master in Management

The world is changing quickly and so are the challenges that tomorrow’s leaders face. In response to this development, IE Business School has designed the Master in Management as an innovative and international business program for high performing individuals. We help students develop an entrepreneurial mindset and a strong foundation of management skills to succeed in a dynamic, global, and diverse business environment.

As working across international borders increases, so does the demand for capable leaders with an international perspective. Students of the Master in Management acquire the necessary skills to be effective in an international setting through a global community on campus and a network of alumni in more than 100 countries.

In our aim to make business education as relevant as possible, we employ a host of innovative learning tools and methods that redefine how business is studied and how insights are shared. In the Master in Management, students learn through multimedia simulations, case study discussions, and interactive workshops. Learning comes from opportunities to experience what real business situations are like.

Furthermore, our goal is to foster an entrepreneurial mindset among our students. We connect theory with practice, infusing entrepreneurship education throughout our curriculum and all extra-curricular activities. Thus it is not surprising that many Master in Management students choose to start their own business upon graduation.

The Master in Management offers a host of options which allow students to personalize the program in order to maximize its benefit based on their interests, needs, and aspirations. In the Specialization Period, for instance, students can develop their expertise in Sales & Marketing, Digital Business, International Business, or Financial Management & Control. They may also choose to study the program in English, in Spanish, or a combination of both languages (bilingual format).

Finally, IE Business School is considered one of the leading business schools in the world by international journals such as Bloomberg Businessweek, Financial Times, The Economist, or The Wall Street Journal, and by international companies and organizations actively recruiting our graduates. By studying at IE Business School, students graduate with a brand recognized for its excellence among recruiters.

In addition, the intensive cultural experience of living in Madrid – the vibrant capital of Spain – and living the Spanish way of life will transform students’ perspectives and broaden their capacities for adaptation.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
