Courses:
The MBA at BMI is integrated to teach the what, why and how of business today. If you are currently trying to decide which international MBA is best for you, whether you are seeking a professional change, a career boost, or an investment in yourself, BMI’s MBA program is Today’s MBA, and as such, its main features are

- A general management focus, to make students confident leaders in any industry, business, or government sector
- An emphasis on teaching over research
- A curriculum that allows students focus on one subject at a time
- Training workshops to teach students practical management skills
- A truly international focus, attracting professors and students from all over the world

The MBA is a full-time, 12-months program starting every October, January and May. Summer courses are also available between early July and late September. It is entirely conducted in English made up of five integrated components:

- Modules
- Workshops
- International Field Trip
- In-company consulting project (specialization)
- Language and culture

To get a full understanding of each subject, students focus on one module and one workshop at a time for about three weeks, before moving to the next step. Business simulations, the business trip and in-company consulting project complement theory, and allow students to challenge each other in real-life situations in a corporate environment, preparing them for their post MBA careers.
