The MBA in International Business is designed to give each participant a
comprehensive understanding of current issues in international management and
dedicates considerable attention to developing personal skills.
It also provides the basis for building and consolidating a network of interpersonal
relations, where colleagues, alumni, faculty and companies all enhance the stimuli
needed to continue the process of growth and sharing.
The programme gives participants an education that is aimed at:
improving understanding of business and economic issues;
providing management tools that link skills to the business environment;
providing working solutions in addition to theoretical models;
developing leadership and management skills;
sharpening key abilities to work across cultures.
The MBA in International Business can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis.
Identical in content to the full-time programme, MIBs part-time MBA has been
designed to allow managers to attend an MBA without interrupting their career.
The educational approach combines classroom teaching with case studies,
role playing, project work, simulations and business games, outdoor activities,
professional presentations lectures and visits to companies in Italy and abroad.
The programme is taught entirely in English.

I came to MIB from Hong Kong. From the frst
day on the course, to the day we graduated,
the experience was an extremely valuable
one. The MIB curriculum combines a good
coverage of the business essentials fnance,
accounting, marketing and so on alongside
a robust programme of personal development,
working on so-called soft-skills that are
crucial in order to be successful in business
today. I left MIB with a better understanding
of my business capabilities, and a broader
international network, as well as a lot of new
friends from all around the world.

One of the most distinctive features of the MBA in International Business is personal
skills development.

Assertiveness and leadership

Creativity and search for new ideas
Coaching is also an important element in the track. While trainers support
participants in learning, coaches support them in changing. In fact, coaching is a
consultancy relationship that aims at helping both individuals and teams to reach
their goals.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
The MBA programme at MIB was one of the
most important stages of my life. From the
technical point of view, the MBA has given
me the skills needed to enter the word of
business and fnance with a familiarity that
I did not have before. I have multiplied my
career opportunities on the international
job market. The biggest added value was
from the personal point of view: the MBA
has involved me in a number of situations
and challenges, which allowed me to better
know myself.
MIB MBA is an investment that I would
recommend to anybody.

Trieste: in the heart of Europe
The city has increasingly gained ground at an international level for the excellence of its science system, thanks to 30+ research
institutions ranked among the most important in Europe.
Thousands international students and researchers choose Trieste every year.
Giants such as Assicurazioni Generali and Lloyd Adriatico (now part of Allianz SpA) were founded and still have their headquarters here
and together with leading companies such as illycaf, Fincantieri, Wrtsil give Trieste a rich and varied economic fabric.
A city of charm, Trieste has a strong cosmopolitan atmosphere with a unique setting: the sea and the mountains are only a few minutes
away from the city center.
Trieste is also rich in cultural institutions, which puts it on a par with larger European cities, and ofers young people a wide choice of
leisure facilities. It is also worth mentioning that every autumn Trieste proudly hosts the "Barcolana", one of the most spectacular and
crowded sailing regattas in the world.
