Institute of Management Foundation

University of Cambridge - King´s College

Classes in the United Kingdom take place at King´s College and St John´s College Innovation Center, one of Cambridge Colleges. The schedule of classes is made by the coordination of the International Executive MBA and the professors hired for this course are from the University of Cambridge and teach classes for our International Executive MBA since 2003[3]

Since then, the same teachers have been hired directly by the FIA and selected by our Coordination. In the past, about 50% of classes were taught at Colleges and 50% in the auditorium of the Judge Institute.

Since 2013 we have a contract with King´s College to carry out classes, and the corresponding certificate is issued by the FIA.'

To respond the criticizes from the university of São Paulo, James Wright, ex-director of FIA and professor of FEA-USP says that the undergrad program of FIA is a “laboratory experiment” comparing with undergrad students from FEA-USP [5]
