International Projects in Action: Turn theory into action
International Projects in Action is a highlight of this Master in international business management. It challenges you to apply what you’ve learned to a real situation, working with a real client.
As part of a team of five or six students, you will act as a consultant: analyzing, articulating, and addressing a challenge presented by Esade’s international partner companies and NGOs. Each team will be presented with a unique problem and your own company project manager to work with. For 600 hours per team across two terms, you’ll explore the challenge, try out different approaches, and pull together to build a solution.
International Projects in Action gives you an in-depth understanding of real-world business scenarios. It broadens your knowledge and equips you with essential skills in team building, analytical thinking, and project management.
These are some of the companies that have participated in International Projects in Action in the past.
