Loved it
i was presented with opportunities to be in 2 universities, where i was able to join both and compare them. i went to Universidad Metropolitana of Caracas and IBS of Hungary and was astonished to find how IBS succeeded all my expectations regarding the career opportunities and the way they taught
IBS from a student point of view
I’m currently in my third year at IBS. In the first year I’ve had lessons related to Business, in the second year I had mostly Business related classes again and 1 tourism related. The beginning of my third year I’ve decided to do Erasmus, which was the best experience for me in Finland. Overall, it’s a great university for international students as well, because every degree is in English, and gives you a dual degree. The university offers many advantages, like job opportunities or Erasmus experiences.
Curriculum
Attending IBS International Business School has been a truly rewarding experience, thanks to its vibrant campus and rigorous academic programs.The business management degree stands out for its comprehensive curriculum, covering essential topics, which has greatly contributed to my academic and personal growth.
