Methodology
The Intercontinental University of Business is based on methodological foundations which combine theoretical training with practical applications. Lectures are presented by active professionals in their specific fields, based on their know-how and real-life examples within their fields.
Teaching is complemented by visits which allow the contents to be seen in situ, and see the transformation process in real time, focusing on logistics, corporative structure, commercial policies, and marketing, in order to pragmatically consolidate the comprehension and functioning of the seafood sector.
Towards the end of the course, all the subjects will be put to the test by means of a game business simulator named “Business Game”. It is a unique experience, which will allow students to form a collaborative field and simulate the creation of a company, along with its evolution in the market, in both investments and P&L formation, as well as the making of financial decisions to be successful in a very competitive market.
The master ends with a trip to Norway, a leading country in the seafood field and all the related ecosystems. Students will be able to expand their networking and to know another business view intensively.
