Why choose this programme?
In a globalised world, international trade is no longer limited merely to exporting and importing goods. This is essentially because beyond financial flows, the globalization of production has increased the complexity of companies' environment and operations.
Through a multidisciplinary approach, the objective of the program in International Management is to provide participants with the skills required to develop and control the international activities of companies. They will have to be operational throughout the world, understanding not only the European environment but also the wider American or Asian contexts. As such, they are meant to acquire competences that will make it easier for them to adapt to foreign cultures and behaviours.
As opposed to other programmes in International Management, the International Management programme at IAE is not specialized on a definite geographical area even though it places a special focus on emerging countries such as Brazil and China.
Programme Content
Courses run from early September to mid April (7 months). All courses are in English.
A 4 to 6 months internship in some international role completes the programme of courses.
The total duration of the programme is therefore 11 months minimum and up to 13 months maximum.
The degree is full-time only.

Target audience
The degree is aimed at all those who are looking to develop both a cross-functional and international view of companies, whatever their prior academic or professional background. Students of the Master’s degree in International Management come from all walks of life, from finance, marketing or management disciplines as well as scientific disciplines (engineering sciences, mathematics, computing) or literary disciplines and humanities; some also already have a significant professional experience.
For a great part, selected students are foreigners, some being from partner universities of IAE Grenoble, such as Brazil, China and Russia. The French students enrolled are mainly recruited on a national basis.
Entry requirements
French and European candidates have to hold a university degree of 240 ECTS credits. For non European students, a 4 year university degree minimum is required, and prior studies will necessarily be examined and validated by a university committee. A study validation form is available online with the course application form.
Those for whom English is not their native language, or who have not been studying fully in English or living in an English speaking country for some (significant) time will need to demonstrate a good level of English. This can be done either by providing us with for instance a high TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS score or getting an English instructor to fill in the language proficiency report included in the application form.
Language proficiency will also be tested during the interview.
Taking a test such as the TAGE–MAGE or (GMAT – English version) is highly recommended.
The programme being fully in English, speaking French is not required. French courses are provided within the programme.
Applying
Application is in three steps: 1/ online pre-registration, 2/ postal application (completing and returning the forms available online with supporting documents) and 3/ interview process (if step 2 is successful). Online pre-registration will start early March.

Testimonial
Studying at IAE has been a life transforming experience for me, in the sense that I have had the opportunity to experience a different learning and live in a beautiful environment. Till now, I still reminisce the fun times. The exciting and unique English course curriculum delivered by experienced professors and industry professionals alike is what drew me to IAE, and it allowed me to acquire knowledge and skills from all aspects of business in an international context. What I loved most from this program is the precious opportunity to meet and interact with students from different cultures and diverse background (as many as 20 countries for the year 2009). The classroom felt like the United Nations congress, truly international!
