Business Connections

Giovanni Contino, Lucas Contino and Andrea Vassallo from BTO

One of the highlighting features of the MIEX Master in International Management is its open network of partner firms worldwide. The relationship between MIEX and its collaborating companies creates an environment where academia meets practice and vice versa, creating a dynamic environment where the most up-to-date knowledge and best practices can be shared.

MIEX offers stimulating in-class, academic activities accompanied by a series of professional development experiences in the field: company visits, business games, internships and project work activities which allow students to come immediately into contact with the world of work.

Partner companies may also choose to collaborate with MIEX on a medium-to-long term basis by joining the MIEX Business Network, granting companies the possibility of offering Practical Work Activities and hiring young managers with international profiles, possessing a profound knowledge and passion for international business.

Practical Work Activities

The in class academic activities are accompanied by a series of on-field professional development experiences: company visits, business games, internships and project works that allow students to come immediately in contact with the business world.

There are different ways in which MIEX collaborates with companies:

• Testimonials and Business Conversations, business games, company visits, recruitment days
• Field Work Research: engages MSc Track students enrolled in the two-year track at the end of their first academic year. The FWR consists of group projects (4 students) on international management topics, commissioned by MIEX partner companies and scheduled April - July before students leave for MIEX second year destinations. The students work like an external task force for the company on the assigned research task and under the supervision of a company Coach, who serves as the link between the company and the group
• Internship: The internship is an individual practical assignment reserved for Fast Track students and is meant to complete their educational path at MIEX. Students must take part, under the supervision of a company advisor, in an in-company project regarding the company’s internationalization process. The internship must last 3 months and 300 hrs between April and September and must be completed with a Report and a Final Exam.
