"The best of the MBA is kept until the last, it is like the 'icing on the cake' - the trip to San Francisco. This programme allows personal contact with a unique ecosystem in the world - Silicon Valley.

Undoubtedly it is this programme that differentiates the ISEG MBA from other MBAs. The visits to companies enables you to feel the spirit of Silicon Valley and the diversity of activities, based on the culture of Silicon Valley, which gives us a new perspective on how to succeed. These visits definitely allow one to gain a new entrepreneurial vision, and to contact a completely different organisational culture, which starts with an immersion in a unique environment. Two classes are held which began to prepare us for a true elevator pitch, followed by classes where we talked about startups and then attended lively workshops on team building. The training was rich in content with excellent professors, where we had contact with a different way of teaching. Students leave the immersion programme with a different view, being more confident, after having gained hitherto unknown knowledge.

Apart from the programme itself, the city of San Francisco excels in its cultural richness, not only on account of the richness of its particular culture, but also because of the diversity of cultures present. The city has enviable urban planning, and one can easily recognise from films the bends of Lombard Street and other great icons, such as the Golden Gate and Alcatraz. However San Francisco is more that just this - it represents joy, confidence and multi-culturism."

The ISEG MBA offers outdoor training programs as a way of providing students with experiences outside their comfort zone.
