IPAM encourages the entire community of students, teachers and staff to undertake a period of international mobility, as we consider this activity fundamental to the institution’s internationalisation and also for the personal and professional development of its students and employees.
To this end, it offers more than 60 international partnerships in the area of Marketing and Management with university institutions around the globe.
Experiencing international mobility is key to the development of global professionals. IPAM encourages periods of mobility throughout students’ academic careers through an extensive network of international partnerships. The List of partnerships by field of study is updated every six months and can be consulted on the International Office page on the Student Portal.
Students will be able to study at prestigious international universities through different international mobility agreements:
IPAM is proud to be able to state that it has a long tradition of exchange with several educational institutions, annually welcoming about half a hundred students from various countries such as Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Chile, and the United Kingdom, among many others.
The global programmes allow us to offer Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees taught entirely in English, which has allowed us to establish new partnerships for international cooperation around the world.
If you are interested in spending a semester or academic year at IPAM as an exchange student (Erasmus or other program), the first step is to consult the International Relations Office of your university to confirm if there is a partnership between the two institutions.
Here's what you should know to study with us:

|---|---|---|
| One academic year | Until 31 May | During the month of June |
| 1st semestre | Until 31 May | During the month of June |

Lists of curricular units available for exchange students can be found in this catalogue.
