IE has launched the first Tech MBA in Europe. As one might guess, the requirement is to have a bachelor’s degree in either Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM)*. In addition, a minimum of 3 years of full-time work experience in any type of industry is required, although a total of 5 years is recommended. *(Exceptions can be made for undergraduate degrees, such as Economics or Finance among others, where students can verify that they completed a substantial amount of STEM related coursework as part of their academic background).
The program is geared towards professionals with a passion for technology and those who want to build a career in the tech space, even though they may not have worked in the tech industry prior to the MBA. To this, the b-school has given guidelines to describe who is considered as a techie. Here's what they say: "You might recognize yourself as a techie if your vocabulary includes terms such as the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, fintech, smart energy grids and waste management, agri-tech, and/or robotics, among others."
The Tech MBA program has 3 major components: 1. the core module has a focus on 55% tech courses and 45% business courses. 2. A practical immersion in one of these tracks: 1. digital transformation; 2. Data Analytics and AI; 3. Digital Finance 3. Specialization through electives in the International MBA program or in the Tech MBA program. A thoroughly exciting opportunity is an exchange at MIT, Cornell or NYU Stern
The Tech MBA will be a one year course at Madrid. There will be 5 application deadlines per year and the next intake will be in September 2020. Next Deadline is March 9th, 20202
For the application, you will require: 1. CV 2. 2 recos 3. 2 essays
The essays are: 1. This section is important in understanding who you are, not just as a student but also as a person in order to grasp the value that you could add to our program.
