EUROPEAN MBA PROGRAMMES OPEN OPPORTUNITIES
Doing an MBA in Europe is a great way to learn about a new business culture and widen your network and career opportunities. The continent is home to several of the world’s top business schools, the programmes of which are consistently counted among the world’s best in different MBA rankings.
Though the US is the traditional home of the MBA, many European schools have stolen a march on their US counterparts when it comes to innovative programmes, tie-ups with industry and attracting an international class cohort.
IE Business School is one to look out for. Based in Madrid and ranked 8th in the world according to the Financial Times, it is particularly strong on entrepreneurship and consulting. Recent alumni include the founders of CityDeal (the Spanish version of Groupon, which was later acquired by the US site) and
Busuu.com, a language learning site with 25 million users.
Despite the gloomy headlines about Spain’s unemployment rate, an MBA degree from a top business school there still opens doors to great jobs in the country and beyond. IESE Business School in Barcelona, ranked first in the world for its MBA programme by The Economist this year, welcomed 48 firms to its campus recently for a recruitment event. The school is holding
another one soon as there wasn’t enough space for the companies that wanted to attend. IESE has strong links with firms including JP Morgan, Google and Facebook for internships and MBA-level hiring.
