About the program
Strategy, financeand leading people
Across nine four-month terms you build the four legs of the trade: accounting and finance, markets, organizational culture and development, and strategic planning. None is studied on its own, because in a company they don't happen separately either.
The final terms point at real practice: budgets, quality systems, formulation and appraisal of investment projects, workplace performance and an intervention project of your own.



Graduate profile
The administratoryou will become
By the end of nine terms you won't just know how a company is organized — you'll know how to decide with the numbers in front of you and hold that decision in front of the team. These are the four capabilities you leave ICES with.
Planning and strategic leadership
You plan, organize, lead and evaluate an organization's operation, and shape the strategy that takes it from where it is to where it wants to be.
Accounting, finance and budgeting
You read financial statements, analyse the health of the business, control budgets and appraise whether an investment project is viable.
Organizational culture and leadership
You shape organizational culture and development, train teams, measure workplace performance and lead with ethical judgement.
Markets, sales and new ventures
You research the market with both quantitative and qualitative methods, set pricing and sales strategy, and develop new lines of business.
