RIIM Blog

Studying in the UK as part of our Global MBA at RIIM is an enriching experience, blending rigorous academics with international business exposure. One of the most significant advantages of our Global MBA at RIIM is its focus on experiential learning—learning by doing rather than just studying theories. 

Let’s have a look at a typical day of a Global MBA student at RIIM                      

7:00 AM – Start the Day with Global News

Our Global MBA students begin their mornings with a quick scan of the latest financial, economic, and business news from platforms like the Financial Times, The Economist, and Bloomberg to stay updated on global market trends.

8:30 AM – Morning Lectures & Case Studies

Lectures in our Global MBA program are highly interactive, focusing on real-world case studies. For instance, a finance class may analyse Brexit’s impact on European investments, while a marketing session could explore consumer behaviour in emerging markets like India and China.

Experiential learning includes business simulations, crisis management exercises, and leadership challenges that prepare students for high-stakes decision-making in their careers.

12:00 PM – Networking Lunch & Industry Talks

Lunchtime often doubles as a networking opportunity, where our Global MBA students interact with guest speakers from leading firms such as PwC, Deloitte, and HSBC. We also invite CEOs and alumni working in global roles to share industry insights.

From finance to healthcare, sustainability to technology, students gain insights across industries through case competitions, hackathons, and internships with global firms.

2:00 PM – Group Projects & Consulting Assignments

One of the key aspects of our Global MBA at RIIM is its real-world consulting projects. Our students collaborate with multinational firms on business challenges such as:

• Market entry strategies for UK companies expanding into Asia or the Middle East.
• Digital transformation strategies for traditional businesses.
• Supply chain optimization for European manufacturers.

We partner with global firms, allowing students to consult on real business problems. These projects enhance skills in problem-solving, strategy development, and leadership.

5:00 PM – Company Visits & Leadership Sessions

Our UK based Global MBA often provide students the opportunity to visit company headquarters of top firms like:

• Barclays or Lloyds Bank (for finance-focused insights).
• Google London or Amazon UK (for digital transformation case studies).

These visits provide first-hand exposure to corporate operations and networking opportunities with industry leaders. 

7:00 PM – International Networking & Cultural Exchange

Given the diverse student mix, our Global MBA RIIM students engage in international networking events, cultural nights, or social meetups to strengthen professional relationships.

• Some students join business clubs focused on entrepreneurship, fintech, or sustainability.
• Others participate in global business competitions with partner universities from the U.S., Asia, and Europe.

10:00 PM – Wrapping Up & Preparing for the Next Day

After an eventful day, students review lecture notes, work on case studies, or prepare for upcoming assessments before winding down for the night.

This fast-paced and immersive experience prepares students for leadership roles in global businesses.
