Before the core period, the START Module sets students up for an intense academic experience and establishes the knowledge and skills necessary for the successful completion of the program. It combines seminars and workshops with a great chance to socialize, build relationships with classmates, and to get a feel for IE Business School. During the core period you will review management fundamentals and gain a deeper understanding of the most up-to-date core management principles, which will be common to all students of your intake.
