Participants are required to work on cases and/or group projects for each course to develop essential skills to face challenging situations and imagine new solutions. Faculty members foster interactions in the classroom – participants learn from each other’s experiences and are trained to develop and defend their opinions.
Twice per year, participants of the International MBA will go on a Learning Expedition in order to discover new ways of doing business in other countries and cultures.
The destinations, which are subject to change or evolve based on circumstances, are selected to ensure that participants can both further develop and practice the program’s key competences, and take part in deep, experiential learning. The trip is also an occasion for cultural exposure to an important international destination, and cements bonds among participants of the program through a shared learning and cultural experience. In the past few years, the trip has taken participants to destinations such as Milan, Zurich, Luxembourg, Amsterdam, Brussels, Munich, South Africa, United States of America, etc. The expeditions have involved companies such as Google, Gessi, BMW, EY, GSK, Coca-Cola, etc.
The costs for participation are included in the program tuition fees.
During the second semester, IÉSEG also provides the opportunity to a few students to take some additional electives in one or more of its partner schools/universities. These courses are offered over a week and specialize in some aspects of business linked to the region where the partner school/university is located. This arrangement helps International MBA participants to gain a richer multi-location learning experience during their program.
