After the graduation of our 4th intake of the Master in International Relations program, we are very proud to communicate the aggregated results of our global recruiting outreach for the past 4 years, proving the success of our students in developing the right skills and competencies required to work in today s complex and multipolar world. I. Facts and Trends Amid challenging economic times, the services provided by the Career Management Center (CMC) have also maximized the opportunities for our students to secure jobs in their preferred areas. From the start of the program, each student is assigned to a point-of-contact in the CMC who meets with him or her to review the CV and cover letter, as well as to discuss career aspirations. Through the design of a Career Strategy syllabus, we ensure our students develop the right career skills and insights to be successful in selection processes. Finally, the CMC staff collaborates closely with recruiters to learn about the skills and competencies they are seeking to develop in their teams, providing them with the most suitable candidates based on the companies criteria. The unique program characteristics, coupled with our students excellence and the CMC s efforts, have resulted in 91% of MIR alumni securing a job, with the following distribution: private sector (57%), public sector (20%) and non-for-profit sector (23%). Region-wise, while most of the MIR graduates decided to work in Europe (58%), we have seen that North America and Latin America have also been target destinations for our graduates. A high percentage of our students have showed significant levels of geographical mobility, with 34% of them working in countries different than their country of origin. These graduates have already joined the ranks of IE s network of more than 45,000 alumni based in more than 100 countries and occupying positions in the public, private and non-for-profit sector in a number of industries and all types of organizations. Congratulations to our MIR alumni and all the best in their new endeavors! 2 MASTER IN PLACEMENT REPORT
