IMD Business School

The IMD business school is one of the most prestigious in-service training institutions in the world.

IMD (International Institute for Management Development) is located on the shores of Lake Geneva. It was born of the merger in 1990 between two independent colleges founded in the mid-20th century by two multinationals, Alcan and Nestlé. Every year, 10,000 students representing close to 100 nationalities – who range from junior managers to members of the boards of directors in multinational companies and represent a hundred or so nationalities – choose from the 70 study programmes on offer, including an 11-month course leading to a Master in Business Administration (MBA) and an Executive MBA (EMBA) for experienced managers.
The IMD employs around sixty teachers of nearly 20 different nationalities who are leading experts in their particular field. The quality of education at the IMD is world class, putting the institution among the best of its kind at international level. IMD is renowned for its research centres and its production of case studies used by other foreign universities.

Famous personalities have studied at IMD, such as Paul Bulcke, President of Nestlé, Thomas Schmidheiny, former president of Lafarge Holcim, and Susanne Klatten, BMW heiress.
