Schiller's MBA in International Business is a 15-month program that deepens expertise in managing companies operating across multiple countries, markets, and regulatory frameworks. Unlike the general MBA, this specialized master's integrates international trade, global finance, market entry strategy, currency risk management, and leadership in geographically distributed multicultural teams.

Studying this MBA abroad in English across Madrid, Paris, Heidelberg, or Tampa places you in four international trade hubs where you learn from real cases in export, joint ventures, and cross-border mergers. Inter-campus mobility lets you live the study-abroad experience in two or three countries during the program, accumulating perspective no single-location MBA can replicate.

The U.S.-accredited degree and international business specialization position graduates for country manager roles, international expansion director, foreign trade consultant, and executive positions in global operations departments at multinationals.

With 2026 tuition of €20,700 at European campuses and $24,525 in Tampa, intakes in February, June, and September, and scholarships up to 50% in Heidelberg, this international business MBA combines specialized depth with the study-abroad experience at a competitive price.

Student experience

Living in Madrid

Madrid hosts Complutense, Carlos III, IE-linked routes and many private colleges along Metro lines. Rent in central districts is high; students often share piso rooms in Lavapiés, Moncloa corridors or suburbs linked by Cercanías.

Non-EU students usually need admission, proof of funds, health insurance and a study stay authorization before travel. Spanish and English programs coexist — confirm language of instruction and homologación of prior degrees.
