Programme
Seminars from first week of September to July.
Developed around a flexible part-time format, with classes taught on Fridays and Saturdays, the IMBA offers the opportunity to follow courses all the while keeping a full-time job, thereby minimizing any potential disruption for candidates and employers.
International guest speakers, professors and practitioners come to share their knowledge and expertise with a culturally diverse classroom.
Seminars are interactive with modern teaching methodologies including in-class case studies, references to concrete professional situations, in class role-playing and interactions between peers and lecturers. Participants are not only exposed to best management practices, they are also complementary and learn from one another.
Participants will inherently learn to be more effective cross-culturally because of the international diversity of their classroom.
The IMBA curriculum does not only put the emphasis on the theoretical and practical aspects of management. It encompasses how these techniques should be adapted and applied in various parts of the world.
