The IE Business School Adcom Advises Indian MBA Applicants
Think of an MBA in Europe, and IE Business School in Spain immediately strikes one as a top option, not just in the region, but around the world. Ranked #11 in the World (FT ranking 2013), the program rates highly in comparison to other comparable programs in Europe, such as INSEAD and IMD. The European economy in general and the Spanish economy in particular, though, have caused some concern in the minds of potential applicants. In this interview with GyanOne, Eliana El Hage, Associate Director at IE Business School, discusses the school’s value proposition, career opportunities in Europe, IE MBA Admissions, and career statistics at IE Business School. Thank you, Eliana, for your time, and your perspectives!
GyanOne: IE Business School has been in the FT top 10 consistently and is considered one of the best options for an MBA in Europe. What are the USPs of the program for international applicants?
Eliana El Hage, IE MBA Admissions: While the program has many unique factors, I would emphasize most on the following three:
The diversity of the class is one of the highest worldwide, not only in terms of nationality but also in terms of backgrounds which is quite interesting and contributes a lot to the class discussions
We have top notch students combined with top notch faculty from all over the world. Many of our faculty members are practitioners so they share their experience in the corporate world with the students
Our practical approach based on the case method where students are constantly wearing the consultant shoes and giving solutions to real life cases
GyanOne: While rankings help, in recent times there has been concern over post-MBA opportunities at IE Business School because of the prevailing economic situation in Europe in general and Spain in particular. How has this impacted the scenario for IE graduates?
Eliana El Hage, IE MBA Admissions: IE is very international and we receive students from more than 80 countries every year. Our Careers Management Center knows well the profile of our students and gives them the adequate training to be able to land a job anywhere in the world. Equally international are our programs, we don´t focus on one single region, we give cases from all over the world.
GyanOne: Being able to work in Europe post completion of the program is an important consideration for international students coming to IE Business School. How easy is it for an international student to find a top job in Spain and build a solid career there?
Eliana El Hage, IE MBA Admissions: Unfortunately nowadays it is a bit difficult to get a job in Europe or Spain due to a tough and long visa process. However, it is not impossible. Many of our students end up in top jobs in Europe or Spain. My advice is to learn about the visa processes as soon as you land in Madrid, and start networking with top companies from day 1 of the program.
