Aims and Objectives

The goal of MIBS, Master in international Business for Small and Medium Enterprises, is to train its students to match the needs of SMEs and companies operating on international markets and to support them by boosting their internationalization process.
The Master provides the acquisition of specific knowledge and know-how in different fields of management such as innovation, organization, marketing, digital media marketing, international law, logistics, international commerce, and international accounting. Lastly, the Master MIBS can be a unique experience thanks to its professional on-the-field internships in one of the partner companies.

The course

The first level professional post-graduate Master of the University of Padova is directed to train new professional figures applying the concepts, contents, languages, and methods of management. With the goal of  developing specific skills in the context of firms‘ internationalization, students will be able to master the key fundamentals of international management practices thanks to a mix of methodologies and training techniques: lectures, seminars, case studies, company visits, teamwork, discussion and drafting of reports.
The last part of the master program is dedicated to the internship and developing a final Final Project Work. An internship of 3 months or longer is strongly recommended in order to perform what has been learnt in class in one of our partner companies to better understand the process of internationalization.
Students are required to be proactive in order to find a position according to their expectations and set up interviews by themselves. In this process, they will be constantly supported and assisted by the Master office staff (CV optimization, job interview simulations, company contacts, and administrative procedures).
