IIMU offers students numerous options to study or work abroad for periods ranging from two weeks to three months during the course of their two year program. The international exposure gives them the opportunity to immerse themselves in a new culture, develop a broader business perspective, expand their global network and widen their personal and intellectual horizons. Opportunities include:
Students have the possibility of spending the fifth trimester (one out of six trimesters in the entire course) at one of IIMU’s partner management schools in France, Germany and Norway during which they take equivalent electives (Master's degree, second year)
IBP is an innovative elective course in the second year syllabus. Student teams act as consultants to clients in locations like Bangkok, Dubai and Singapore on a clearly defined project. Teams of 5-6 students work from the clients' offices for two weeks. The course involves a preparation phase for 3 weeks before and a reflection phase of two weeks after the project. During their stay, they maintain a diary of their experiences and on their return, they submit a reflection paper which summarizes their learning. Client feedback is an important part of the grading for this course.
Each year a number of students have been placed in summer internships in locations including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, London and Malaysia.
