International Business
"To join Master of International Business programme is the best opportunity for students to get international experience without going abroad. I highly evaluate the professionalism of local and guest lecturers who made a truly international atmosphere during the programme – through various workshops, simulations, case studies etc. Here student’s interests and willingness to go deeper in a separate topic prevail over tedious theory. That makes each class special – intensive discussions and high involvement of students.
Would you like to be involved in an International atmosphere without going abroad? Join the RISEBA International Business programme! It is a great opportunity to get in touch not only with lecturers from different countries but also to establish contacts with students from all over the world. Individual approach, highly interactive workshops, practical cases, various projects and simulations and not only – it is all about the RISEBA International Business programme. Are you ready to join the club?"
