IESE’s Global EMBA case-based general management curriculum provides you with practical tools that will help you perfect your management skills. Each time you apply them to organizational needs, the return on your educational investment grows, as does your advancement potential.

Global coNTexT: a TRaNSFoRMaTive iMPacT

Preparing executives to think and act as global leaders requires a curriculum immersed in a context of evolving international challenges and core humanistic values. Our goal is to change the way you think about organizations, as well as the people in them, and how to manage the interrelationships of a global society. The resulting insight and empowerment you experience can be transformative.

ReFlecTioN: PeRSoNal GRoWTh

Reflection that leads to personal growth and new career insights is an important element of IESE’s Global EMBA program.

The self-management component “makes you think about yourself and where you’re going, your career, your family and what’s important,” notes one alumnus.

PeRSoNaliZeD FocuS: you aRe ceNTRal

Behind every teaching strategy, be it, case study, team project, faculty lecture, class discussion or company visit, lies our resolve to tailor your professional development to your personal needs and goals. Everything you take away from IESE’s Global EMBA program will bear your own individual stamp.

IESE is the graduate business school of the University of Navarra. The University of Navarra is an initiative of Opus Dei, a personal Prelature of the Roman Catholic Church. The ethical principles based on the Christian tradition are the linchpin of a responsible notion of leadership and management, and a positive view of companies in society.

IESE uses real-world case studies that take a fresh look at business challenges requiring out-of-the-box thinking. Under the guidance of IESE faculty experts, participants build on each other’s knowledge to make solid decisions and find optimal solutions.

Simulations and other activities also contribute to elevate your leadership skills and strengthen your grasp of critical business areas and concepts.

During the program, you will carry out an in-company project that addresses an issue relevant to your company.

As you develop your project, you will benefit from invaluable input from peers and faculty experts and ultimately deliver very tangible value to your organization.

If IESE’s Global Executive MBA program empowers you to make just one valuable decision for your company, you will exceed a 100 percent return on your investment. And with your potential to make many more valuable decisions, the ROI is incalculable.

Great leaders can see both the global picture and the interdependent human elements within that picture. ieSe’s personalized approach builds and nurtures the skills and insights you need to acquire this prized executive competency.

PeoPle aRe ceNTRal

IESE’s overriding mission is to develop leaders who can have a positive, profound and lasting impact on people, firms and society through their professionalism, integrity and spirit of service.

The school defines organizations and society as collections of people interacting with each other to reach a common goal, and advocates service to people and society as the underlying aim of global business leaders.

For this reason, the Global Executive MBA program uses a person-centered approach to enhance your management knowledge and skill set. Throughout the program, as you expand your knowledge of critical business areas, you also learn to make decisions that assess the impact on people, the environment and society as a whole. In the process, thinking ethically, as well as strategically, becomes second nature.

After hours dedicated to cases, projects, team-building activities and other assignments, you will forge lasting professional relationships and friendships.As observed by one program graduate at the one-year reunion, “I realized how much we liked each other and what a tight bond had formed with this diverse group of people.” Many classes continue to have annual reunions and some have even made investments together.

The IESE Alumni Association extends your professional network beyond your class and offers a lifetime of learning. With one of the highest membership rates in the world, the association opens a world of connections and learning through its numerous services, networking events, activities for you and your family, and IESE faculty-led continuous education programs.

The ceNTeR: you

Your learning becomes personal as the concepts you acquire bring clarity to your unique professional challenges. Your in-company project and personalized action plan make learning even more relevant to your company’s needs. You will also build vital entrepreneurial skills by developing a business plan for your own new venture.

Personal growth and development are paramount in this program, since your ability to inspire and lead involves gaining awareness of yourself and your leadership style. Your team will be assigned a personal adviser who will coach and mentor you on your leadership and communication styles.


your identity as a Global executive Mba student at ieSe begins with you, placed at the center of your learning. That identity starts as a member of a study group, a class, a team or a group of friends, and continues to evolve as a graduate when you join the ranks of more than 40,000 ieSe alumni worldwide.

Your skill levels may differ from those of other participants depending on your professional background. This period gives you time to learn or refresh fundamental concepts and prepare for the residential sessions.

ReSiDeNTial SeSSioNS:claSSRooM leaRNiNG aND TeaMWoRK

Analysis and discussions of real-world case studies, interactive team activities, lectures and workshops bring everyone face to face during residential modules.Company visits, guest speakers and networking events enrich the experience.

DiSTRibuTeD leaRNiNG:Real-WoRlD aPPlicaTioN

Between residential modules, you will be able to apply in the workplace what you have learned in the classroom. Exams are also part of this segment. You connect on line with your classmates to analyze cases, engage in discussions with faculty experts and collaborate on projects when it is most convenient for you.

The Global Executive MBA is a one class, two track program. Participants can choose to begin their program with an emphasis on either Europe or the Americas. As the program progresses the two tracks fully integrate, further enhancing the diversity of the class. Time between modules allows you to absorb and apply what you have learned. Global Campus, IESE’s proprietary distance-learning platform, connects you with your classmates and professors to help reduce work disruption and build a supportive community.

This loan is further proof of the commitment between IESE and Sabadell to promote the quality of management around the globe, thus ensuring there is no financial barrier for any exceptional individual who has the potential to become a world-class manager.

The global loan covers up to 80 percent of tuition fees, including the deposit of €9,500. It does not cover accommodation or travel expenses.

During the MBA, students will only pay interest on the loan.

The final decision on awarding the loan rests entirely with the bank. Signing the loan will take place during Residential Module 1. The loan, life insurance and PPI contracts will be signed in English.

The bank will transfer the funds to IESE after the loan signing, in accordance with the IESE MBA schedule.
