An opportunity to have real-world experience

What I appreciate most about the MSc International Business program is that it has provided extensive hands-on experience through real-world projects and industry collaborations. One standout opportunity was our consulting project with Ibercompound, a Spanish leader in car soaps and powders, where we worked under the guidance of a BCG consultant to develop strategic insights. Additionally, the three-week SESAME mission for Coco-mat/Noe Builders challenged us to create an internationalization and marketing strategy, allowing us to apply our knowledge in a fast-paced, practical setting. We felt so inspired by the feedback of the owners as well!

Beyond these projects, frequent company visits to industry giants like Gartner, PTC and SAP – along with several tech firms in Barcelona’s 22@ business district – offered invaluable exposure to cutting-edge business practices and global market dynamics.

An interdisciplinary experience that will stay with me far beyond my time at TBS Education!

The most valuable theoretical reward has been gaining a broader perspective on how everything connects. Each subject complements the others – Marketing ties into Strategy, International Sales influence International Business Development and Corporate Social Responsibility shapes business decisions. Through this interdisciplinary approach, I’ve learned to see the bigger picture, understanding not just individual concepts but how they interact in the real world. It’s already helped me to see my current educational project from a bigger perspective – and, I believe, it’s a mindset that will stay with me far beyond my time at TBS Education!
