The collaboration with companies become concrete during the 2nd quarter of the MIB programme (from January to April), where each participant must carry out mandatory Practical Work Activities by dealing with problems related to a company’s internationalization process. Topics and contents of the activities are jointly drafted with the hosting/coordinating companies, and the participant is thereby directly involved and plays an active role in the host company's internationalization process.
 

A first practical activity is the Field Work, where participants join small groups focused on projects designed and coached by partner firms. The aim of this activity is to allow participants to acquire fundamental methodological knowledge on field research and to grow their team-working skills. The knowledge acquired during class lectures and conferences will be employed in real-life situations to complement the participants' training and to prepare them for working life.

During the last quarter of the Master’s programme, students will be engaged in a curricular internship, an in-company individual activity guided and monitored by a company tutor, lasting from 3 to 6 months (at least 500 hours are mandatory).
 

The MIB staff provides support to help students finding an internship. This activity is carried out thanks to internal dedicated resources working on the MIB Business Network relationships and to the UCSC Stage & Placement Service.

A prominent faculty of over 20 teachers and researchers working across the campus deliver the Master's. They are the pillars of our academic excellence. They shape and direct students' learning so that the business and management expertise offered is state of the art. A distinctive aspect of our faculty is its multicultural composition.

Our faculty's cutting-edge insights into business issues and management practices are enriched by their involvement with business people and organizations through consulting and executive education activities. This benefits the Master's classroom as well. Business executives are regular guests, thus ensuring the relevance and practicality of our management education.
