As part of the dual degree MBA/MIB program, students have the opportunity to live and study for one year in Paris, France, at the IÉSEG School of Management. Throughout the program, students are immersed in exciting learning and business cultures, which prepares them for global careers upon graduation. Further, students are provided the opportunity to build social and business networks in both locations, enhancing their business reach and leadership potential.
Students participate in two weeks of intensive coursework at Magdalen College, Oxford University and site visits to companies located in the Midlands of the U.K. Working in teams, students research growth opportunities for each company and present their proposals to owners and senior executives.
The main objective of the international investment course is to introduce students to investments and to teach them how to create a well-diversified investment portfolio, which should include diversification into international stocks. When considering international stocks to buy for their portfolios, students need to consider the state of the economy of that country and the policies that they have in place. Understanding the culture, customs, and etiquette also gives a perspective on how the Italian markets can react in different states of economy. During the visit to Rome, students meet with management teams of Italian corporations and learn, firsthand, how business policies and Italian government laws impact the organization’s operations, and ultimately the stock price.
