I am looking for insider information on IXMBA. I had different feedback from people.

The informative sessions are too short and I have not got enough information to make a decision as if i should apply.

The course does not seem to have classes, I have no information on what they do on soft skills and I have not seen stats on progression etc...after the MBA.

Some think that the case study method is not sufficient to perform well in jobs with responsability after the MBA which worries me.

If you were to comapre IE IXMBA and Cranfield FT from what do you get out of it approach, which one will you go for?

hi

it depends from your background and where you wanna go

cranfield is for people older with 6-7 years experience at least...focused on industry and uk...good for marketing

ie is for people with 3-5-6 years...focused on entrepreunership and good for consultant as well...more focused on spain...it does not seem really international from recrutiment point of view

in the ranking ie is always better than cranfield but ie works very well on the ranking criteria...cranfield has an amzing placement...especially in uk...it does not seem a lot out uk...

so as i told u it depends on what is your focus and goal

be more specific

in general i can tell you from my personal experience that i had a good opinion from both school...

ie i had interview and i was admitted....i met them also in the mba tour...they are really friendly and opened

cranfield i met them in the mba tour...i spoke with a woman that now she retired...it seems more the typical english school but it seems very good aswell...i got an interview for next week but i rejected bc i accepted already another school

so to conclude they re both good but it is importnat where u wanna go after to understand what is the best for u!!!

My main criteria is over quality and what you get out of it. What do you know about the case method and personal development at IE? This MBA is the International executive MBA and it is an online programme. I am not that interested in rankings. IE does have a good reputation in Spain but only some recognision abroad.
