The greatest part of the program is taught in the IEB's headquarters in Madrid, a city considered, in specialist environments, to be one of the most important financial centers in the world (after New York, London, Paris, Frankfurt and Tokyo). In addition, the Spanish capital, as well as possessing its own enormous intrinsic strength and vitality, has the advantage of being Europe's door to the Iberoamerican world, many of whose emerging economies will play an important role in International Markets.

The students' stay and study periods in these two world references in economic training and research not only provide quality teaching and content but also permit an insight into cities - London, New York and Pennsylvania - in those two countries which are the indisputable references of international financial leadership.
