The Program
Our International MBA gives you the global edge you need to take your leadership career to the top. Built for working executives, the program offers all the academic rigor of a traditional MBA, but with a sharper focus on the diverse cultures and practices that drive modern business.
The program is self paced and highly flexible – allowing you to complete it without pausing your career. Choose to study full-time from our base in Paris, or go part-time through a combination of in-person courses in the French capital and e-learning from anywhere in the world.
Whichever route you take, our IMBA lets you earn credits at one or more of our partner institutions around the world. Our programs in Cape Town, New Delhi, Shanghai and São Paulo take a regional focus, giving you valuable insight into business cultures and practices in key emerging markets. Our New York location, meanwhile, hosts an optional short summer program for all IMBA students, with courses that offer a broader view of international business.

The Business School
ISM is dedicated to redefining executive education by providing students with comprehensive and demanding executive education programs led by leading international professors and practitioners. Students are engaged in interactive learning that is characterized by small and intimate classes, flexibility, and choice.
The executive education programs are designed for ambitious working professionals who need flexibility and the ability to manage their time effectively. With a combination of e-learning and intensive courses held in Paris, New York, Shanghai, New Delhi, São Paulo, and Cape Town, students have a variety of flexible learning opportunities and exposure to business practices around the world.
ISM’s international student body provides an invaluable lifetime community of personal and professional relationships, contacts and knowledge across geographical boundaries and business sectors.
The Faculty
In addition to being acclaimed academics, our professors are successful business leaders in their own right. They personify the blend of current theory and relevant practice that makes our IMBA such a valuable qualification. And because our classes are small and intimate, you benefit from close access to their expertise and the chance to shape the debate in the classroom.
ISM places a great deal of importance on balancing the latest theory and academic knowledge with practical business experience and ‘on the ground’ expertise. Our professors are active in the world of business and are rigorously selected from among the best in their field. When not teaching courses at ISM, our faculty are working as CEOs, entrepreneurs, or teachers at top universities around the globe. ISM faculty are hand selected for their individual expertise and evaluated regularly in keeping with ISM’s high academic standards.
Alumni
Global exposure is at the core of our IMBA, and nothing reflects this better than our student body. ISM’s students and alumni represent more than 130 nationalities and bring a world of perspectives to the program. Not only do they enrich your learning with their diversity of ideas and experiences, but they also become your worldwide network of professional support and career opportunities.

Location

ISM believes in the importance of a global perspective and we encourage students to take advantage of our international presence. Courses are scheduled throughout most of the year at our center in Paris, and during the summer with participating schools in New York. Programs also take place periodically at other locations with participating schools in Shanghai, New Delhi, São Paulo, and Cape Town.
Courses held outside Paris are created and offered solely for ISM and in keeping with the ISM experience: small class size with face-to-face interaction with professors from the host university and students, development of cross-cultural knowledge and competency, and flexibility in scheduling. Students have the option to study at one or several of our locations.
Student Life

ISM organizes a number of IMBA cohort activities in Paris. Current IMBA students will be provided with a calendar of group cultural events in Paris. Sample activities may include: wine and cheese tasting, night at the theatre (“How to Become Parisian in One Hour”), and cocktail happy hour.
