The most interesting part of MBA- IBE

IBE- International business experience. For those who are not aware of IBE, this is a week long study tour conducted by Cranfield as a part of the MBA. We have to select one of the several international choices such as Dubai/Turkey, US, China, India, Japan etc. Then we go to these countries as a part of a group of MBAs and visit many government and private organisations to understand that country’s political, social and economic climate. The idea behind this is to gain insights into at least one more country than that you already knew before coming to Cranfield. The offered choices are a mix of developing and developed nations and it also includes some exotic destinations such as Brazil and Cuba and some social projects such as in Ghana.

I visited Singapore last month to attend an interview and met a person from Cambridge. He told me that though Cambridge charges more fee than Cranfield yet it does not offer any such experience like IBE. At that moment I realised that Cranfield MBA is also a great value for money. Moreover Cranfield offers many such facilities which one does not get in other B-schools. For e.g. A fully dedicated career services cell and the hostel facility. It helps cut your costs of doing MBA.
