EOI has designed an in-depth training programme in which theory and practice are combined and delivered by business professionals, who introduce a realistic view of management.
The EOI MBA is divided into two parts:
Course or lecture sessions
Business plan
Lecture sessions
The course is delivered in two different stages:
The first part, which includes a series of core modules, develops a general overview of all the functional and strategic areas of business in 350 credit hours. The second part, with 150 credit hours, aims to broaden knowledge of the aerospace industry and the keys to management of this dynamic sector. During this last stage, an International Seminar is organised by the Toulouse Business School.
Project or business plan
Running parallel to the course is the development of a business plan, with the full support and guidance of a team of tutors, where students can put into practice all the knowledge, tools and skills acquired in the lecture sessions.

The two stages of the lecture sessions are detailed below:
First part: Core modules

A multiple methodology proven over 50 years 50 year´s experience in training organisation, allows us to offer programmes with a consolidated methodology especially oriented to the needs of our students, and to the requirements of the companies who employ them at the end of the Program.
It is precisely this experience that has enabled us to develop a complete and integrated method of training, in which each student can create their own agenda within the Masters which is, therefore, always tailored to the initial profile and development of our students.
The method of teaching postgraduate programmes has been designed on the following elements: Faculty, Theory - Practice Sessions, Case Studies, Business Plans and Special Sessions and Evaluation. The special combination of these elements constitutes the real differential element and added value of EOI, in comparison to other institutions, and is oriented to achieving both maximum academic and personal progress of the student.
Bringing you closer to the world of business The EOI postgraduate programmes offer the student integrated training, mirroring business realities: these programmes train the student both in techniques and skills which are founded on a solid theoretical base, and possess an eminently practical approach with a clearly global dimension.
The Faculty
The EOI teaching sessions are given by professionals active in various areas of expertise, who bring together theoretical knowledge, wide professional experience and proven educational abilities, enriching the learning of the student by transmitting not only their theoretically based managerial knowledge, but also their own current, real experiences.
Case Studies
The case study method, widely used in all the prestigious Business Schools, reflects real situations which have occurred in real companies and show the student strategic decision making situations, which are similar to those they may face when they join the world of employment.
The Theory - Practice Sessions
In contrast to other prestigious Business Schools which use the case study only as a teaching method, in EOI we believe that it is important to combine case study with the demonstration of the most recent managerial techniques and trends. This is achieved by our lecturers, business professionals, who explain them with a clearly practical approach. This is then reinforced with the completion of numerous exercises by groups and individuals, to enable the student to acquire solid conceptual basics which can be applied to company management.
Business Plan
To further apply acquired knowledge, the students develop a Business Plan in a group setting, directed by a professional from a company specialising in the sphere of the plan. Their Plan will be presented at the end of the course, and its approval is a necessary condition for securing the Masters. The Plan may consist of the creation of a new company, or of the restructuring of the business strategy of an existing company.
Special Sessions
In addition to the normal course sessions, the students take part in additional sessions based on the numerous activities which take place in the Business School. These are considered to be of great value to their professional development.
Evaluation
In our methodology, evaluation and student feedback play a fundamental role in performance monitoring on the Program, and in identifying strenghts and detecting those weaknesses which need attention. The final grading of the Masters is obtained by averaging four parts (three pertain to the lecture sessions, and one to the business plan; the optional work placements do not count towards the grading):

• Common modules
• International business dimension
• Specialization
• Business Plan

The percentage corresponding to each of these parts of the Program is 40%, 15%, 15%, and 30% respectively, and the approval of the Business Plan is a prerequisite for the award of the MBA. Another condition is a minimum of 90% attendance of the lecture sessions.
The qualification in each Subject is conditional on the following two points:

• The evaluation of knowledge tests, completion of exercises, completion of work, etc.
• The qualitative assessment of the attitude, interest, participation, etc. of every student, made by the faculty.

The student's performance in each subject will also be evaluated in relation to the performance of the group.
If a student is among the lowest scoring 15% in that subject, it will be determined that the student has not reached the required standard of performance. The Business Plan may be approved, after evaluation by the Director of the Plan, the Director of the MBA, and by an external body of prestigious executives.
