What MBA International, AUEB does

MBA International (branded i-MBA) is the graduate business program of the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB), a public Greek university established under Law 4957/2022. Founded in 1999, the program operates two degree tracks delivered entirely in English: a Full-Time MBA (16 months, €9,700 tuition) and a Part-Time MBA (27 months, €9,900 tuition), with rolling admissions via two annual application rounds. Both tracks offer concentrations in Finance, Marketing & Strategy, and Technology & Innovation, and culminate in applied projects — the Immersion Project (Field Study, Entrepreneurial, or International Internship tracks) for full-time students and the team-based Integrated Impact Project for part-time students.

The program has been continuously accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the Business Graduates Association (BGA) since 2005, holds AACSB accreditation through the parent university, and is ranked 5th globally in Eduniversal's Part-Time MBA category (2025) and 35th globally in QS International Trade Rankings 2026. It serves experienced professionals — full-time students average age 29 with 5.8 years of work experience (75% women), and part-time students average age 31 with 7 years of experience (49% women) — drawn from more than 20 countries.

The program monetizes through tuition fees paid in multi-installment schedules, supplemented by corporate scholarship funding (Athens International Airport, ION S.A., Gastrade, Plaisio, DEPA Commercial, Koutsodontis) and a tiered donor program (Platinum/Gold/Silver/Bronze via the i-MBA Hub). Supporting infrastructure includes a dedicated Career Office, annual Career Fair (22nd edition in 2025) connecting students and alumni with 40+ multinational recruiters (Big Four, banking majors, Nestlé, L'Oréal, IBM, Vodafone, Estée Lauder, Diageo, Enel, and others), a C-suite Mentoring Program launched in 2024, the 15th-issue i-MBA SCOPE newsletter, and international study trips. The program reports a 2,000+ alumni community and held its 26th Graduation Ceremony in 2025 with 26 Full-Time and 25 Part-Time graduates.
