Every September, before the official start of classes, Advantere’s Master in International Management, Master in Finance, and Master in Talent Management begin with a pre-master’s bootcamp. This immersive experience is more than just an academic start: it’s a journey into the school’s values, its collaborative spirit, and the key skills students will build throughout their program.
What is the pre-master’s bootcamp?
Is an intensive introduction that helps students transition smoothly into their new academic and personal environment. Instead of diving directly into coursework, participants first explore the foundations that will help them succeed—academically, professionally, and personally.
Visits to our partner universities
During the bootcamp, students visit our partners Comillas and Deusto. They also travel to Loyola, where they engage in social and spiritual activities. These experiences strengthen the sense of community, expose students to new perspectives, and connect them with Advantere’s extended academic network.
Sessions designed for growth
The pre-master’s bootcamp includes hands-on sessions that encourage self-discovery and practical skill development. Among them:
- Gallup Strengths Finder Session: helping students identify their unique talents.
- Self-care & vulnerabilities Session: promoting balance, resilience, and openness.
- Time Management Session: providing tools to make the most of the year ahead.
These sessions ensure that students start their master’s journey with clarity and confidence.
Building employability from day one
Another highlight of the pre-master’s bootcamp is the first set of employability sessions. From the beginning, students are introduced to the resources, coaching, and opportunities that will help them prepare for impactful careers.
Why it matters
The pre-master’s bootcamp is more than an orientation—it’s a launchpad. It ensures that every student in the Master in International Management, Master in Finance, and Master in Talent Management begins their academic year with purpose, connection, and the right mindset to thrive in both their studies and future professional paths.
