How will a Hult IE-MBA help me?

Hult’s Intensive English program (IE-MBA) is designed for candidates with suitable business experience and qualifications, but who have insufficient English proficiency to pursue a top-ranked U.S. accredited MBA.The program equips you with business fluency and the MBA foundation skills needed to succeed in a competitive MBA program taught entirely in English. The Hult IE-MBA will also get you direct access to Hult’s top-ranked, one-year MBA program through a simplified “Single Application Process”, allowing you to take your career to new heights in the shortest possible time.

The Hult IE-MBA is offered in both 3 and 6-month formats, depending on your language needs. The program is composed of three major building blocks: basic language skills, business English, the case study method, and an optional module to prepare you for the GMAT. Apart from the traditional classroom training, you are granted unlimited access to self-study content from the world’s most flexible online English school: Englishtown.com.

Hult's IE-MBA is offered on our Boston and Cambridge (U.K.) campuses.

Key Benefits

Single Application Process A single application for both the Hult IE-MBA program and the Hult MBA program ensures a smooth transition into your MBA career.

Small class size for personalized attention The Hult IE-MBA course is taught by an expert English instructor in a small class setting (maximum class size of six people*) to ensure you receive the individual attention necessary to maximize your language learning. A small class size also guarantees that your individual language needs are addressed.

A curriculum that combines intensive language training with MBA preparation Alongside language learning, the Hult IE-MBA curriculum is designed to give you the other relevant skills required to complete an MBA in English, including: applying your English skills to solve a Hult business case, building your vocabulary in specific business disciplines, writing a presentation, and giving a full business report.

A professional atmosphere with highly-experienced classmates During your Hult IE-MBA, you will study with a group of mature and experienced young professionals. Your classmates hold middle-to-top level management positions and come from a wide range of industries. You will learn as much from them, as you will from your program.

Access to the Hult MBA community from the start Particularly for our Boston students, one big advantage of doing your pre-MBA language training at Hult is you will have a head-start in getting acquainted with Hult’s MBA community and establishing yourself at the school. You are welcome to participate in any of Hult’s myriad of weekly student activities, including: networking with talented Hult MBAs and alumni from around the globe, participating in a wide range of Hult executive seminars, attending project presentations and guest speaker series, and getting to know your professors in relaxed settings.

* In the event that the class size is below six persons, you may be placed in class with other non-IEMBA corporate language students at your level.

“My MBA has helped me to address complex issues from a sophisticated, multicultural vantage point. The curriculum gave me the tools necessary to thrive as a professional in a leading investment bank. My experiences with my classmates from all over the world provided me with a spectrum of ideas that I use to tackle everyday business situations.”

“At first I thought my classmates were quite different from me. I was the only Italian in the class––but by the end of the year, they became part of my family! The year I spent at the school gave me the opportunity to start a new career in the U.S. Being exposed to a multitude of different cultures at Hult helps me with my current job.”
