IBC in English
We equip workers and entrepreneurs with the skills, knowledge and confidence to tackle future challenges. We develop multi-skilled individuals to whom innovation, flexibility and globalisation are not abstract concepts – but natural ways of thinking, now and for the future.
We aim to stay on top of the rapid changes in the modern world, to anticipate students’ and companies’ needs before they arise – and create opportunities to work together with the rest of the world – through the provision of flexible, up-to-date programmes that keep open the doors to the global village.
The same applies to those already pursuing their career but who need to up-date professional and personal competencies. We create supplementary training and further study opportunities for those who wish to enhance their qualifications and knowledge. IBC responds to these demands through continuous development of new programmes and application of the most up-to-date learning and teaching methodology. We achieve this through highly professional, experienced and committed staff and by listening to our other stakeholders: industry, students and institutional partners – regionally, nationally and internationally.
IBC is a part of the world – and the world is a part of the IBC: We welcome students from all over the globe; our students spend time abroad and return with new ideas. International guest lecturers inspire us – and we co-operate closely with some of the best universities and business schools in the international arena. At IBC the world is never far away. The future is full of opportunity. At IBC we take up the challenge. We make IBC a better place to learn.
