The MBA International program is a general graduate management degree that prepares students for a range of careers while offering the possibility of concentrating in Finance, Marketing and Strategy, International Business, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Technology, Logistics and Operations. Preparatory courses might be offered in Economics, Statistics, Mathematics and Financial Accounting  to students, with no prior knowledge at degree level, usually 2 weeks prior to the normal program starts. In the case of preparatory courses, students will be notified upon admission. All coursework for the program is normally completed by mid-July of next year. The program is divided in 5 academic periods, each period consisting of 7 weeks of classes, followed by 1 week of exams (in terms of semesters, academic periods are conjoined in 3 semesters). At the end of their coursework, students undertake their Immersion Project, which normally lasts 3-4 months, and addresses a real business problem. To complete the program, a student has to obtain 42 academic credits.
