In light of Covid-19, IESE has been able to host in-person classes through the enforcement of strict safety measures. Our current MiM class has had an uninterrupted on-campus learning experience since they started classes in September 2020.

The program’s core courses build a solid foundation of business-management knowledge. During the program, you can choose to concentrate in one of the following tracks: Data Analytics, Strategy & Marketing and Finance. At the end of the program, there will be a special capstone course that will help you reflect on what you’ve learned and plan the next steps in your career.

As an additional complement to the academic study and projects, you’ll engage with the business world’s most critical issues in a special series program i.e., Exponential Digital Technologies, Energy, The World in 2050 etc. Through a holistic learning environment at IESE, you’ll gain the mentality and real-world abilities to tackle complex problems. 
At IESE, we believe in active-learning methodologies. This means that you will take ownership of what you learn. Through the case method, multimedia simulations, projects and teamwork, interconnection with our faculty and your multicultural peers, role-play, design thinking methodology and scrum agile design, you will acquire the skills, the knowledge and the insight to make critical decisions as a business leader. During the MiM program, 80% of your classes will use the case method covering diverse scenarios but share a common denominator: the need for a decision.
