The business world, given the current economic crisis, which is so dynamic and competitive, is in need of professionals who possess solid knowledge of the various areas of management and, at the same time, have personal and professional skills such as versatility, adaptability, cognitive skills, decision-making skills and creativity.

The International MBA is designed in such a way that the participants strengthen and broaden their knowledge in business management and administration, they work with the main management tools and they develop their management skills and abilities.
