The MIBP
comprises of five English-language business courses, altogether 30 ECTS credit
points. The courses are organised in 3-week modules,
one at a time.
The goal of the program is to familiarize the students
with topics in international business from finance to marketing
– with a strong focus on Asia. Previous knowledge of business
administration is an asset, but not a requirement. The professors are quest lecturers
from well-known international universities around the world.
Since 2006, local partner
in Kuala Lumpur is the KDU College, which is located in the same area as the
previous partner school. Operating since 1983, KDU
College is one of
Malaysia’s leading
higher educational institutions (and for example, ranked no 2 private college by the leading newspaper of Malaysia). It is a part of a
corporation listed in Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange.
