As a student in the Master in International Management you will be in touch with the Career Management Center (CMC) right from the start of the program. Not only will the CMC give you a lot of support in CV and Cover Letter design but you will also have the opportunity to arrange a counseling session to discuss your career path. Company conferences and the Job Recruitment Fair are also organized by the CMC and form part of our drive to give students varied and diverse career opportunities for when they finish their program.

As a current student and alumni you will also be able to access the online job board with exclusive offers for IE students and alumni. This lifelong service will include not only job opportunities in very diverse industries in Spain but also from around the World.

Furthermore, students  will be attending sessions as part of the Careers Series module which count towards your final credits. In the Careers Series you will receive tips on how to improve a job application such as CV’s, cover letters and job interviews.

The hallways and study rooms at IE’s Castellon de la Plana 8 building are flooded with students and teams from the different MIM sections preparing final Group Projects and studying for finals. One of the objectives of the program is to see how well students can respond under pressure and handle tight schedules and deadlines just like in a real business environment. Team work, planning, multitasking and excellent time management skills are essential during this period. Each student picks their own preparation style for the exams, either by studying in groups or individually. Either way, it is visible that it is a very busy time for the Master in International Management students.

At IE Business School we always look for ways to innovate and are consistently developing new business cases that are relevant to current global issues. Economics professor, Dr. Gayle Allard, recently developed a multimedia case on Africa, which enables students to improve the economy of an African country through simulation by applying different economic policies. The case  incorporates a wide range of topics including governance, infrastructure, trade, NGOs, aid and development.   

You can view the multimedia case here: http://multimedia.ie.edu//productos/africa/demo_alum.html

Multimedia cases and simulations are just one of the interactive tools used by our faculty in order to enrich the learning experience of our students. Through these tools, students are able to experience real cases and situations from the global business world.

The earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9 on the Richter scale and the massive tsunami which struck Japan on March 11^th 2011 had a devastating effect on the country and sadly, even today we are still hearing of increasing numbers of victims.  The current situation is bleak – over half a million people are homeless and running low on food and supplies, 18,000 are expected to be dead or missing, and the country’s financial loss is speculated to be US$309 billion.

IE Business School has carried out various initiatives to raise funds to help those in need in Japan…

IE Japan Club (run by current Japanese International MBA students) is organizing a number of activities. For example, donation boxes have been placed in IE buildings and are receiving warm support from students. All funds raised will be sent to Japan Red Cross in Tokyo.

IE Lebanon Club with the support of IE Spain Club, organized a Donation Campaign last Tuesday in partnership with a local restaurant to help raise funds. The restaurant gave a portion of revenues gained on this day to IE to donate to  Japan.

IE Alumni Association is taking advantage of IE’s extensive network to raise funds for Japan, spreading the message to over 40,000 people in more than 100 countries.
