The next best you

At IE Business School, the most important subject we study is you. Education isn’t just about filling your head with facts; it’s about personal and professional transformation. We’ll help nurture your aspirations, discover your strengths and fill in educational gaps.

By learning more about your ambitions and interests, we’re able to guide you to the next stage of your transformation, which we call the Next Best You. This has three key elements: your career, your impact and your purpose.

Your Career: By focusing on your career, we help you figure out all the opportunities available to you. We’ll guide your exploration of the options, help you choose among them and then set you on the career path that’s right for you—giving you the skills to succeed in your chosen field.

Your Impact: Impact is about how to make things happen in the real world. Do you want to become an impactful leader who can drive transformation in any organization? We’ll help you build the tool kit to do so. With a special focus on enhancing your critical thinking skills, you’ll become a more efficient problem solver, creative thinker and project manager. We foster a safe environment where you can push yourself to new heights in mindset, communication and achievement, all while strengthening your digital skills—turning you into a savvy business leader ready for the future of work.

Your Purpose: We all have an inner sense of purpose. We’ll help you define, refine and align your purpose with your goals. Business is about more than just profit and is a powerful tool that can lead the way in ensuring sustainability, innovation and social well-being. We’ll help you become a purpose-driven professional.

Highly customizable programs

The Master in Management, for example, is designed specifically for young professionals just embarking on their career. This program develops your practical and task-driven mindset to make you a changemaker of tomorrow.

Multiple options to earn an MBA exist at IE Business School, all of which set you up for future success. The International MBA allows more experienced professionals to test how far their ambition can take them, whether that’s setting out as an entrepreneur or progressing in your current company. It’s an intensive, 11-month in-person program in Madrid that will enhance your vision and strategic leadership skill set, giving you the tools to become the next big disruptor in the world of business. It’s also possible to choose between studying at the IE Business School campus in Madrid or distance learning.

There is also our top-ranked Global Online MBA, for which you can study part-time from wherever you are based. It can be customized to complete in either 17, 24 or 30 months, and is taught online, with three residential weeks in Madrid.

Or, if you are ready to sharpen your leadership skills after years in the workforce, there are several formats available for our Executive MBA. If you love face-to-face learning and are fluent in both English and Spanish, the in-person Executive MBA—every Friday afternoon and Saturday morning at our Madrid campus—helps you build strong connections with colleagues and professional networks in Spanish-speaking countries.

If you are eager to study solely in English no matter where you’re located, the Executive MBA, Global Executive MBA and IE Brown Executive MBA all combine face-to-face and virtual learning, with a mixture of online and residential periods. This state-of-the-art blended methodology adapts to your needs while still offering dynamic classroom discussions and peer connections.

If your interests are more specific, we also offer progressive programs focused on particular areas of business. Our Master in Finance, for instance, is a full-time program that gives you firsthand insights into the realities of modern financial markets. Covering the latest trends in corporate finance and private equity, global markets, asset management and alternative investments, it also offers you a deep dive into finance analytics and digital finance, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence and the application of Big Data.

The Master in Customer Experience & Innovation is a dynamic exploration of human-centered design that helps you discover innovative ways to deliver value to customers. Other marketing and communication-focused programs dive into areas including human resources, corporate communication, consumer insights, digital marketing, content strategy and more—particularly relevant in today’s digitalized world.
