Contents
Each semester of the IBMS is thematic which means that students concentrate entirely on one business subject. There is one central project, which is assessed at the end of the semester. All of the learning activities (groupwise or individual, internal or external) contribute to this central project.
Some subjects are assessed as well. The goals of the exams are dual: they are developed to prepare students for the project but they also test individual knowledge and skills.
The first propedeutic year is a year for orientation and (self) selection. Students will also learn how to deal with the intercultural setting, how to co-operate and how to plan their study. To that excursions and a team building session will be organised. IBMS aims to train independent and competent students who are creative in problem solving, committed, a team player, co-operative, aware of intercultural processes and ethical.
