Classes that specialize in IT strategy, IT innovation, and the network and high-tech industry are available; some basic courses on accounting and finance are also available. Moreover, the program provides venture start-up related lectures and design innovation classes which benchmark Stanford’s design school.

Many of the students, including me, have experience a positive effect throughout the course and have learned to focus on the ‘big picture’. On top of that, the network which embraces great professors and classmates is also a great help in the field” said Lee Tak-gyun, the director of the headquarters of Novartis and a 2012 graduate of IMMS.
