Introduction
Why study International Management?
Making a difference in a company and affecting its success needs a mix of competencies, both technical and personal. Successful managers contribute meaningfully to organizations only if they are equipped with specific knowledge, skills, and abilities that are honed through a comprehensive set of management education experiences.
Our Master in International Management (MIM) provides you with a theoretical background as well as a rich set of analytical tools that will allow you to perform effectively in an international business environment. Specifically, it provides a sound knowledge in international management with a quantitative approach, alongside solid foundations in economics and law with the aim of developing young executives who can think analytically and make decisions to impact critical outcomes. Also, interaction with companies and exposure to a mix of world cultures develop soft skills required to become successful international managers.
Aimed at graduates from all backgrounds, the program provides an in-depth understanding of the needs and trends of the global marketplaces.
In Business Labs, you can refine your entrepreneurial attitude and learn to adapt to unexpected situations in order to solve problems and contribute to the success of a company. By working on the creation of startups, you enhance your creativity and learn how to design sound business models and to work in real-life situations with an innovative attitude.
Teaching Methodology
MIM is based on a mixture of teaching methods, which is believed to be the best balance to merge a thorough understanding of theoretical issues with the ability to apply them in real-life situations.
Traditional classes are complemented by frequent group discussions, active participation, case study analysis where students are confronted with different business scenarios and asked to provide concrete solutions to real-life problems.
This approach fosters fruitful cooperative learning: students get used to high-pressure situations, and through factual learning and a stimulating internship experience they are provided with a solid platform to make the best possible decision.
