Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the (presumed) admission to IE Business School!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • While an MBA from IE Business School may not be well known in the UK or the Middle East, it will not be a problem either.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

Q: How's IE considered in UK and Middle EAST and EU for consulting

You can check it as follows for your target companies (for IE or any other school):

  1. Go to LinkedIn
  2. Add the university as "School"
  3. Filter by target region
  4. Filter by each MBB/target company as “Current company” for your target geography

If you find a good number of IE alumni with a background similar to yours, it means it could be a good option.

If you are not sure what a good number of people could be, you can use a school you are sure is a target as a benchmark.

You can find below an example for Harvard and McKinsey: 

Good luck!

Are you referring to an MBA or a Master’s?

I hold an MBA from IE and joined McKinsey in Spain.

Be cautious with Master’s degrees, as not all countries recognize them as official (e.g., France).

MBA, however I don’t speak fluent Spanish so I’m guessing I can’t target majority of the offices in EU

hey!

IE, particularly IE Business School, is generally seen as a strong and innovative institution with an international focus that adds significant value to a consulting profile in the UK, Middle East, and EU; while in the UK it might not be as immediately recognized as some local names, its rigorous curriculum and global perspective are well-regarded by top firms—as I've experienced during my time as a Consultant at McKinsey —so success ultimately comes down to how you leverage your education alongside your skills and experiences, and I'd be happy to help if you have more questions.

Hi there,

It's one piece of the puzzle and I tend to say that it would be a suitable school for applications, especially in the Middle East.

Other considerations:

  • The name of the school is one thing. Also consider the specific program, your GPA, the leadership experience you gain while being part of it (e.g., clubs and organizations)
  • Relevant work experience is equally important
  • Supply of suitable candidates is extremely high for the Middle East, so other brand names will have an advantage (Oxbridge, etc.)
  • Networking can help you get the foot in the door

All the best,

Florian

Hey there, 

I know consultants with IE MBA's joining MBB in Middle East and EU. It's a recognizable brand and has shown to be strong enough to help candidates pass through screening 

Just don't forget to optimize on other elements of your profile in your CV. That counts just as much, if not more! 

All the best
