Additional information

I understand the IMBA is composed of multiple modules. How are these modules spread out throughout the school year? How many hours of classes/other school related activities should we expect to do in a week?

Hello Shirley,

Thank you for your question.

The IMBA program at IESEG is designed to meet the requirement of a global MBA program which is composed of 90 Credits.

Students must successfully conclude two semesters of courses for a total of 60 ECTS credits. These credits are composed of multiple modules spread out through 2 consecutive semesters from September to May. It is a full-time basis program (around 32-36hr/week).

The program is followed by a capstone (professional experience) starting June and is composed of 30 Credits (30 credits=750 hours of individual works)
Students are free to select the capstone, which can be done in three different ways: Internship/or Job (4-6 months), Research Project, or Consultant Project.

Let me know you need any additional information.
Regards,

Hi Abou!

Thank you so much for your detailed response. It is much appreciated.
I have a couple more follow up questions:

1. What time of the day are the classes/discussions/program events usually held at (i.e. morning to afternoon, all day, afternoon to evening)?

2. How long does each module last for?

3. For the Captstone project, is it difficult to find a job/internship? Is it possible that a student will not be able to find one?

Thank you,
Shirley

Hello Shirley,

Your welcome :)
1) Normally, the classes are running every day, from morning 8 am to evening.
2) Each module lasts depending on its number of credits. A course could take between 2 to 5 weeks.
3) The market is really big and there is a lot of opportunities. I cannot say it is difficult but it needs a lot of effort ;)
In the worst-case scenario, the school is offering students another two options for the Captstone Project: Research Project (Thesis) and Consultant Project.

Regards,
Abou
