Mba in international management El Centro de Estudios Económicos y Comerciales

With the aim of occupying a new dimension in the postgraduate training offer, the International Menéndez Pelayo University (UIMP) and the ICEX España Exportación e Inversiones (through the ICEX-CECO Business School) have scheduled a new edition of the Official Program from MBA in International Management (former Master in International Business Management), Within the ICEX Scholarship Program.

Spain is in an accelerated process of internationalization, which makes it necessary for our young professionals to acquire an international vision of management and familiarize themselves with the techniques and tools that are their own, especially in the field of economics and business. The modern company needs to implement a global orientation in its culture and management, and not to place geographical limits on the marketing of its products and services or the purchase and supply of its productive inputs.

Business success depends to a large extent on the ability of managers and executives to manage, in the most efficient way possible, and in conditions of global economic interdependence, the resources that the company, institutions and society in general make available to them . This requires professionals capable of facing new challenges and who are able to take advantage of the business opportunities offered by globalization.

GOALS

The MBA develops knowledge and skills in advanced areas of the international management of the company that will allow students, once graduates, to be able to assume responsibilities in the field of management and management of companies with an international vocation.

Its main objectives They are:

• To train professionals capable of leading the process of internationalization of their companies and organizations (both private and public), designing, implementing and directing the process of opening new markets.
• Train professionals with a broad knowledge of the environments in which the company operates, the international economic situation, the institutional framework and international standards and agreements, as well as provide a clear understanding of the processes of economic interdependence that govern markets And sectors, which affect the definition and effectiveness of corporate policy.
• To offer the complement of practical professional training in foreign countries, in order to obtain an in-situ experience of the opportunities and problems presented by the various international markets and the real needs of the companies that wish to enter them.

Methodology

The MBA IN INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT is a postgraduate program that consists of 75 credits that will be realized during 12 months (two academic courses). The first 60 credits (which are taught and evaluated from October to June: 36 weeks without exceeding what is stated in point 4 of article 4 of RD 1125/2003 regarding the duration of the academic courses) correspond to the subjects of the master's degree structured In six large "Academic Modules" and a "Business Internationalization Project" carried out in group, supervised and with presentation at the end of June. The remaining 15 credits (which run from July to September) correspond to the Final Master's Work (TFM), which will be carried out individually, and will be publicly defended before a court in September. In no case may the TFM be submitted for evaluation by the court if the student has not passed all the subjects.

The natural continuation of this Master is the participation of its graduates in the ICEX Internationalization Scholarship program (entity that is part of the Program Studies Commission). The selection process for this scholarship program starts with the admission to this Master and these scholarships are awarded exclusively to the graduates of this Master with the best academic records. Thus, the graduates have the possibility to make 45 additional credits of paid internships in the Economic and Commercial Offices of the embassies of Spain abroad. The performance of these remunerated practices, which are not part of the Master, will be reflected in the European Supplement to the Title (as extraordinary credits).

Being possible to do this Master part-time, this circumstance would prevent students from competing, on equal terms, with those who attend full-time, if they apply for the remunerated internships of the ICEX Internationalization Scholarship Program that take place after (It is an essential requirement of the ICEX Internationalization Scholarship Program Call, having reached an average of 5 points out of 10 in the Master on the 75 credits of the subjects taken in the period October - September).
