Global Executive MBA

One great program. Two different formats. The one you choose depends on you!

IESE's Global Executive MBA program is designed to be different. We provide the tools for experienced managers and executives who not only want to stay ahead of the game, but who aspire to grow and be more, both professionally and personally. Our program helps you acquire the additional skills needed to succeed in today's increasingly globalized and competitive business environment, in an international setting with other successful peers.

A Flexible Format

The program structure is designed to suit the needs of busy professionals. A modular format, offered two different ways, means you are only away from the office for a limited period of time: either 14 weeks over a 16-month period, or 17 weeks over a 22-month period. You decide.
