Intensive MBA Program (IMBA)

The COVID pandemic and rapid digitalization of business processes are inducing a paradigm shift in the way we conduct business. Corporations are placing increasing emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. The post-COVID-19 business environment requires managers to be cognizant of ESG issues and integrate them in business performance. IUJ’s IMBA program prepares future leaders to meet these new challenges.

The 12-month IMBA program curriculum is compact, rigorous, and demanding . We believe in building core competencies that enable managers to deep dive into innovative business solutions for their businesses. At IUJ, cases are used to better prepare managers to apply what they have learnt to real business situations. The cases focus on issues in both advanced economies and emerging markets in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. At IUJ, students from diverse nationalities work, play, and learn together on a daily basis in an international environment.

Global Network

At IUJ, we are home to students from more than 50 diverse countries/regions. IUJ’s global exposure helps students gain a holistic perspective (encompassing both a global and a home-based view) that contributes to their growth as a global manager.

Next Generation Leaders

India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Sudan, Uzbekistan, and more…during my time at IUJ, I became familiar with these countries as the homelands of my classmates. More than just the content of IUJ’s lectures and coursework, the close bond that develops between students here is one of the university’s great treasures. Because of the diversity of our student body, you have the opportunity to learn both inside and outside the classroom. This unique environment makes IUJ so valuable.

Multicultural Exposure

“The real world is here, beyond my expectations.”
Can you imagine a situation where there are many nationalities in one place? Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas. You can learn a lot from excellent faculty members in class, but more than that, you can experience the real world from all the students at IUJ. IUJ’s program gave me real knowledge about how I can work with people with different backgrounds, which has been a benefit beyond my expectations.
