"The International Week at Alma gave me a whole new perspective of the Executive MBA program. It's the perfect occasion to exchange skills and knowledge with managers coming from different countries in a truly international environment. I believe this stimulating experience is useful to fully complete the Executive MBA program."


The International Week is promoted by the International Consortium of the Executive MBA Programs. Partner of the Consortium are Alma Graduate School of the University of Bologna, Chapman Graduate School of Business of the Florida International University, Coppead Graduate School of Business of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and Mirbis (Moscow International Higher Business School).

Each school offers their Executive Master of Business Administration students the opportunity to obtain an international educational experience by participating in a specifically designed module of classes at one of the other partner schools in the Consortium.

What I get?

Each programme is focused on business innovation, with majors based both on the analysis of a specific industry strategy and on local business issues.

Living in and learning from a different environment, teachers and companies, governmental institutions and cultures, even if for only a short period of time, can represent a paradigm shifting experience for the participants.

Who is the International Week designed for?

Managers and entrepreneurs who want to:
• Assess their business model profit potential
• Exploit levers of their business profit potential
• Explore new business models
• Understand different business models in mature and emerging markets
