Courses in Business Administration

Business Administration is the path that offers a complete view of business management, integrating strategy, finance, marketing, operations, organisation and leadership. Master's programmes in Business Administration, of which the MBA is the best-known example, are designed for graduates and professionals who want to take on managerial roles and acquire a common language with all business functions.

The programmes, often in English, include corporate strategy, management accounting, corporate finance, marketing management, operations and supply chain, organisation and human resource management, business analytics, entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership. Learning takes place through case studies, group work, simulations, consulting projects for real companies and meetings with entrepreneurs and executives.

A master's in Business Administration lets you develop decision-making skills, financial analysis, strategic thinking and team management, together with soft skills such as communication, negotiation and the ability to influence. Classes are often international and made up of professionals with very different experiences, which enriches discussion and widens your network of contacts.

Career opportunities include general manager, business unit manager, management consultant, function manager, product manager, business development manager, entrepreneur and executive in multinational companies. Opportunities exist in consulting firms, industrial and service companies, banks, startups and international organisations, with excellent prospects for salary growth and career progression.

Many programmes offer career coaching, alumni networking and exchange opportunities abroad, elements that increase the value of the qualification on the job market.

The choice between a general MBA and a more specialised business administration master's depends on your starting profile: the former is suited to those with a few years of experience, the latter also to young graduates.
