e are happy to present our 2014 Yearbook which introduces our International MBA students who are pursuing their degree at FIA Business School.

The FIA MBA follows rigorous international standards, and is accredited by AMBA - The Association of MBAs, based in London, England. It builds on a tradition of excellence created by our International Executive MBA since 1993, which is consistently ranked among the top 100 since 2004, and attended by one of the most experienced student bodies in the world, according to the Financial Times Rankings.

Our current International MBA students build on this experience, working with the same faculty and cases in a diverse group, where approximately 56 students come from countries besides Brazil, including, Belgium, Colombia, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, the UK, etc.

It is a dynamic, enterprising, hardworking and creative group, who answered to the challenge of studying in a far and nontraditional part of the world.

In this program they have exposure to the most modern management theories, with practical sessions presented by industry executives, and lectures by top faculty from FIA and our partner universities in the USA, Europe and Asia. We are confident that this program contributes significantly to the development of managers who will move forward and employ their skills to make an excellent contribution to the companies and organizations in which they will go on to work.

This is an excellent group in which to find new and valuable talent for your organization, so please feel free to contact me or to get in touch directly with any of our prospective graduates in this class.

Yours sincerely,

James Wright Director - International MBA FIA Business School
