The Master's Degree in Business Management (MBA) is aimed at recent university graduates from different backgrounds and people with professional experience, who want to focus or improve their professional career in the field of company management as a whole and in executive responsibility positions in their functional areas, in a changing and increasingly competitive environment.

But... What does “different backgrounds” mean exactly? It means that if you are willing to achieve executive positions in the company world, this master’s degree can help you to complete your knowledge, despite your previous training has not been closely related to this area.

 

If you want to acquire knowledge on business management and achieve executive positions in the company world, this is the master’s degree you are looking for.

 

Take for example graduates in chemistry: if to all their scientific knowledge, they add the company vision this master’s degree provides, they may be the ideal candidates to work in an industry that has a strong chemical side. Or, as another example, an engineer: Who better than a person who brings together technical and managerial skills for a position of responsibility in a construction company? And these are only two examples that could guide you, there are many other possibilities.

The MBA Master’s Degree receives with open arms all those students who have an interest in company management, and it has little importance if they come from degrees related to it or not.

To that end, the contents of the master's degree incorporate aspects of the business environment (economic, legal and fiscal), Management (strategic direction), Marketing and logistics, Accounting and financial management, Quantitative methods for decision making, Directive Skills and social responsibility of the company, Growth and survival of the company (mergers and acquisitions, internationalisation). In addition, company internships and the master's degree final project are mandatory and a successful mentoring and personalised guiding pilot programme called 'Mentoring Club' has been launched.

Now you know it! If you want to acquire knowledge on business management and achieve executive positions in the company world, this is the master’s degree you are looking for.
