International Master of Industrial Management (IMIM), Erasmus Mundus , M.Sc. – (M.Sc.)

Contents

Students will spend each of the first three semesters at one of the participating institutions: starting in Madrid and subsequently continuing with the second semester in Como-Milan and the third in Stockholm. The fourth and final semester comprises, industry-related master thesis in virtually any country in Europe. A broad foundation, comprising introductions to organizational behaviour, financial and managerial accounting, corporate finance and the function of capital markets, marketing, strategy and economics, will be provided during the first semester.
Building on this, the second semester further develops students' proficiency in operations management, quality management and supply chain management approaches and techniques. Thus gradually strengthening the link between general managerial work and the challenges emerging in modern manufacturing and service operations.
The third semester then comprises courses aimed at deepening some of the topics introduced during the first semester as well as developing a more integrated view of how these relate to one another. This includes advanced courses in management accounting and marketing and application of previously taught topics in two integrative, thematic courses on project management and entrepreneurship. An introductory methodology course will also be given in preparation for the final semester thesis project.

The last semester is dedicated to the Master Thesis, a broad project that the IMIM consortium organises in collaboration with universities, industrial companies and other organisations.

All teaching activities are in English. A significant amount of these take an interactive approach, through extensive use of group-based work, case studies and seminars, to stimulate dialogue between and learning from the diverse experiences of students and teachers.
