Do you want to become a problem solver, a savvy business person and a truly global citizen? Are you an adventurous entrepreneur? Fulfil your dreams and ambitions with a degree from our International Business programme, which prepares you for a career in the global business world.

In our Fast Track IB programme, you complete your degree in three years instead of four and you study with ambitious fellow students from all over the world. You will receive intense coaching from a team of business professionals and lecturers. Have a look at our more detailed fact sheet. Or test yourself to check your fit!

You choose the IB FastTrack if you want to challenge yourself with a demanding degree in an international environment. Your fellow students hail from Europe, Asia, South America and Africa, and together you apply the theory you learn in real-life international business projects. For example, in the past, students have developed a water stewardship business model for Vitens Evides, aimed at deploying multi-stakeholder partnerships in developing countries.

During the programme, you will need to do two internships and study at least one additional language.

In the courses you will follow, there is a strong focus on sustainable business (in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals), building essential digital business skills and entrepreneurship. There is an innovative approach to learning: our projects resemble real-life business situations.
