MBA in International Business 26
I came to MIB Trieste from Hong Kong. From the first day on the course, to the day we graduated, the experience was an extremely valuable one. The MIB MBA curriculum combines a good coverage of the business essentials– finance, accounting, marketing and so on – alongside a robust program of personal development, working on so-called “soft-skills” that are crucial in order to be successful in business today. I left MIB with a better understanding of my business capabilities, and a broader international network, as well as a lot of new friends from all around the world.
