Master in Management

Students of GIBS Business School participate in internships and live projects which are cross-functional opportunities to gain practical experience in key functional areas (marketing, sales, finance, HR, business development, and operations). Students engage in internships to gain practical exposure by completing real-life tasks for companies (e.g., market research, data analysis, developing a campaign, supporting recruitment, improving operations). 

Live Project assignments are shorter-term, company-assigned projects in which students work to develop solutions for actual business problems, apply the concepts they learned in class and make direct contact with professionals in their industry. 

GIBS views all internships and live projects as an integral part of their curriculum; therefore, all students at GIBS consistently gain real-world experience prior to their graduation and are ready for placement by the beginning of their final semester.

GIBS keeps a good balance between academics and extracurricular by implementing a well-thought-out daily schedule that keeps both learning and student life active. Classes are regularly scheduled with established timelines, taught in a practical way, so students are able to concentrate on their studies without feeling overwhelmed. Also, GIBS uses events such as clubs, sports, cultural events, guest speakers and leadership sessions as a part of their overall development in addition to the typical academic calendar and not merely as distractions. Faculty members support students in managing their time to allow them to excel in their studies in addition to activities. A balance between academics and activities provides students with the ability to maintain academic success while building their confidence, teamwork, communication skills and ability to manage stress during their time in college.
