If you are close to graduate from your Undergraduate degree to become an engineer, an artist or a chemist and you feel that you want to venture into building and launching your company, or want work for a large corporation in your field, the road to prepare for the transition is doing a Masters degree in Business Administration.

You may not feel that you meet all the requirements, without spending time understanding at least the fundamentals of every business.

Most of the Masters degree programs at business schools start in the Fall or Spring, and you have the perfect alternative to gain knowledge on the fundamental business skills including Corporate Finance, Marketing or Corporate Strategy during the previous Summer attending the Tuck Business Bridge program.

The Tuck IE Bridge Program in Spain is a result of an emerging partnership between the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth and IE Business School. The Tuck Business Bridge program is the oldest summer program of its kind. This year the two institutions will jointly offer the program–two sessions in Hanover NH, one in Segovia, Spain. The basic curriculum of the two programs is the same, but the IE program will be taught by a mix of Tuck and IE faculty at IE’s campus in Segovia. The program also allows participants to develop their language skills with Spanish classes for all levels.

If you wish to learn more about this program, and take advantage of the integrated content to Bridge your knowledge and venture in the business world, please visit this link to receive full details of the program and the link to the application area for the next program starting in June 2010.

The last day of the fair will be dedicated to the field of law and tax, and this year over 20 law firms will present their organizations and conduct interviews with students from the Master in Legal Practice, Master in Tax Law and Master in International Legal Practice. Law firms at this year’s Careers Fair include Allen & Overy, Cuatrecasas, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Garrigues, and Uría & Menéndez.

Some 85% of the students and alumni that attending the Fair will be interviewed by participating firm.
