Master in International Business in China (MIBC)

The program intends to provide graduates with a comprehensive and critical understanding of key issues in international business and economic development, as well as valuable perspectives on China’s economies and multinationals. Its ultimate objective is to prepare participants with strong skills for a successful international business career in Asian markets, more specifically, in the development of projects and partnering relationships between Italy and China.

Facing the profound global transformations, the Chinese economy represents the point of reference for Italian firms both for its processes of commercial expansion worldwide and its management strategies for production’s delocalization. Also, due to the greatest interest that the most important Chinese corporations show towards Italian firms which often object of acquisition and partnership. In this realm, this Master stands as a real transforming experience for new talented graduates willing to gain a comprehensive understanding of global business and a deep insight into China’s dynamic business environment as well as knowledge about China’s history, culture, law, and policy.

The program is designed to equip graduates with a mix of analytical and problem-solving business-related skills with a very strong emphasis on relevant international challenges and emerging issues in international business. The Master, entirely taught in English, aims to provide students with cutting-edge education, with both advanced knowledge and practical sense of Asian management models, creating a community of diverse culture.
