Structure

Firms of any size across any industries should prepare themselves dealing with a future that is not what it used to be. This is the assumption that guided our approach in designing the innovative MIB Online programme. The MIB Online Regular class will continue offering a learning experience that examines global issues in-depth focusing on collaboration, community building, exploration and individual and group ownership.

While moving to remote learning, we have leveraged on existing tools to move in-person gatherings online and open up spaces for discussions, events and more. The idea is to offer virtual spaces in lieu of physical ones to enable MIB participants to be part of a university community that continues to connect.

Close collaboration with companies forms an essential facet of the programme. The skills we cover include change management, customer-driven transformation, group negotiation and management of intercultural communication projects, business process analysis and management. MIB has forged links with an impressive network of firms both to design the course and to provide the students with first-hand access to the international business world.

All admitted students will take part in the MIB Fast Track, a twelve-month, full-time programme composed of three teaching periods. It delivers up to 70 ECTS CREDITS and a “1st. level Specializing Master’s Degree” (level 7 of the European Qualifications Framework – EQF).

The first one covers basic aspects of Economics and International Business Administration & Management as well as current research and consultancy methods. The second group of activities is a set of hands on, in-the-field experiences allowing students to put theory into practice.

Courses

Twelve courses refer to five main educational areas. The teaching method of the programme is oriented towards a goal of professional relevance and consists of lectures, group work supervised by experienced professional, and individual study. These components coexist within a training course closely linked to the business world.

In addition to the core courses, students are offered a series of business talks designed to enhance the knowledge and international expertise in the various fields of study, thus ensuring the relevance and practicality of management training.
