"The IEDC EMBA is world-class in all respects. A class of outstanding participants of just the right size facilitates efficient interaction with professors and within the group. Hard work in a beautiful, stimulating environment and unforgettable friendships are other distinctions of the IEDC EMBA, which will forever remain in our memories. Although it was exhausting sometimes, I can say that I have never regretted a single moment I spent in the school."

Why choose IEDC?
IEDC has proven its ability to find and engage world class professors for its activities, not only with an ever-increasing number and quality of core visiting professors, but also with its own permanent faculty. Statements from participants and corporate clients confirm that the excellence of the professors has resulted in excellent teaching and overall program quality, individual attention and excellent service; excellent teaching material, practical exercises, very interactive teaching, group work, project work discussions are all utilized.
IEDC is an internationally renowned business school with a well-established reputation for creating active and diverse groups of participants, which bring together various cultural, academic, and career interests. About 70% of the participants come from over 50 countries, a percentage reached by only a few schools in Europe and far above any other in the CEE region. Programs are deliberately structured to allow participants to experience the benefits, which derive from learning and studying with individuals from many different backgrounds and interests.
The IEDC executive programs are designed for practicing managers, providing them access to real project work and case studies. In order to allow participants to keep their jobs and immediately implement their newly acquired skills, the longer programs, such as the one- and two-year Executive MBA programs and the General Management Program, consist of a number of residential weeks, divided into separate modules. Moreover, IEDC’s three-year Presidents’ MBA program allows participants to spread out their studies over three years and to follow more individually customized schedules; the program is split up in shorter modules, which means minimal disruption for daily work.
IEDC has already gone much beyond the role of the traditional educational institution. It has introduced the very concept of contemporary management to the CEE region and played a visible role in casting management into an esteemed profession. Institutionally and through the activity of its key people, it has influenced the behavior of governments, powerbrokers, and business leaders. Its connection with numerous business professionals, distinguished artists, educators, medical experts, and other accomplished individuals who set the societal scene in their countries, is compliant with the school’s mission and value system.
IEDC is working for you even when you finish your program: the Alumni Office will keep you up to date with IEDC news, help you set up regional Alumni chapters, and organize reunions. Currently we have chapters in eight countries, and they will be more than happy to receive information about your activities and plans. Like thousands of others already do, IEDC alumni are more than welcome to visit us anytime, just to meet old friends, admire the IEDC art collection, or participate in another program.
IEDC learning environment is designed to be creative, friendly, and flexible. Participants have a chance to use excellent facilities: from state-of-the-art computer equipment to the well-stocked library. The art collection with more than 200 paintings and sculptures, and its program of guest lectures make IEDC a unique place of inspiration: a creative environment for creative leadership.
IEDC’s beautifully sited and designed campus overlooks breathtaking scenes of the Alpine lake Bled, the oldest tourist resort in Slovenia. The peaceful and friendly green surroundings of the lake, close to industrial centers of Slovenia, Italy, Austria, and Southern Germany, are perfectly suited to the activities of a business school. The participants are able to concentrate on developing and improving their management knowledge, skills, and values, while also taking advantage of the various benefits and facilities that such a location has to offer.
