The format of the Master's Degree in Continuing Education in International Business Management is blended. The student, at the beginning of the course, can choose whether to study all the subjects in face-to-face or distance format. Students of the distance modality can attend face-to-face classes (notifying in advance and if the capacity allows it). Students can change from one modality to another during the Master (notifying in advance and if there are places available).

The methodological orientation of the program will combine theoretical sessions with the resolution of practical cases and business projects. The special conjunction of these elements, aimed at achieving maximum use, both academic and personal of the student, is one of the main added values of this program.

Special emphasis is placed on the method of the case, with the aim of confronting the student with the reality of the internationalized company. Each student will be integrated into a working group and will be assigned a teacher-tutor, who will attend throughout the training period.

To obtain the Master's Degree, it is necessary to pass the tests and the continuous evaluation that arises in the different subjects. Although the methods of assessment are varied, there are four types of tests common to most subjects:

• Final practical cases or those carried out during the development of the subject
• Practical exercises carried out during the development of the subject
• Reports and work conducted through a tutoring system with personalized guidance from the teacher
• Tests

It is also necessary to obtain a favorable evaluation of the Master’s Final Project. For the final Master's project, the student will work integrated into a work team, which will be tutored by an expert professional in the business field. For this project, the Master also has the collaboration of professionals from the Spanish Institute of Foreign Trade (ICEX), analysts and experts from the PIPE program (Export Initiation Plan) that ICEX has developed for small and medium-sized enterprises. For the development of the project, students will have the option of visiting the company's facilities, its production centers and will have periodic meetings with its management team, with the aim that the final work is adapted to the reality of the company and its sector.
