International Management University of Trento

Overview

Why study International Management ?

Making a difference in a company and influencing its success needs a mix of competencies, both technical and personal. Successful managers contribute meaningfully to organizations only if they are equipped with specific knowledge, skills, and abilities that are honed through a comprehensive set of management education experiences.

The  Master in International Management MIM provides you with a theoretical background as well as a rich set of analytical tools that will allow you to perform effectively in an international business environment. Specifically, it provides a sound knowledge in international management with a quantitative approach, alongside solid foundations in economics and law with the aim of developing young executives who can think analytically and make decisions to impact critical outcomes. Also, interaction with companies and exposure to a mix of world cultures develop the soft skills and the necessary expertise required to become successful international managers. 

Aimed at graduates from all backgrounds, the program provides an in-depth understanding of the needs and trends of complex international  markets. 

By taking part in the  Business Labs, you can refine your entrepreneurial attitude and learn to adapt to unexpected situations in order to solve problems and contribute to the success of a company. By working on the creation of startups, you enhance your creativity and learn how to design sound business models and to work in real-life situations with an innovative attitude.

Teaching Methodology

MIM is based on a mixture of teaching methods that merge a thorough understanding of theoretical issues with the ability to apply them in real-life situations. 

Classes are complemented by frequent group discussions, active participation, case-study analysis where you are confronted with different business scenarios and asked to provide concrete solutions to real-life problems.

This approach fosters fruitful cooperative learning: you will get used to high-pressure situations, and through factual learning and a stimulating internship experience you will be provided with a solid knowledge to make the best possible decisions.
