In any discussion of IESE, words like “integrity” and “impact” loom large. This is a business school that takes very seriously the idea that business leaders can have a huge effect on the world. Very few other MBA courses feature a core business ethics course, or so explicitly look to instill values in their students. Based in Barcelona but with outposts in Madrid, Munich, New York, and São Paulo, IESE also has a global outlook. In its last MBA class, 76% of the 293 students were non-Spanish, hailing from 55 countries. Of those, 31% came from elsewhere in Europe, 29% from Asia-Pacific, 17% from North America, and 16% from South America. At 19 months, IESE’s MBA gives students ample time to explore their subject. The first three terms teach Foundations for Effective Leadership, followed by summer corporate internship and entrepreneurial experiences. It’s all topped off in terms four and five with the Consolidate Transformation section, which helps students to broaden their horizons.
