Master in Management

The Master in Management is targeted towards students from diverse backgrounds, both cultural and academic, wishing to gain a general management education with the additional benefit of strategic specialisations during the final third of the programme. The specialisations focus on three main areas: consultancy, global innovation, and entrepreneurship.
The International Master in Management programme attracts high potential participants who aspire to a global business career. In addition to the core management competencies, participants develop personal and professional skills in the areas of communication, negotiation, teamwork and leadership.
The core subjects are delivered at our main campus in the centre of Barcelona, while the professional development programme is undertaken over several modules at our residential training centre. Throughout the Master in Management, participants are exposed to real-life case studies facilitated by a combination of academics and practitioners.
