Options

The Study Abroad option easily allows students to study one or more quarters at another UIBS member school without interrupting their studies, as the program is run simultaneously at all member schools. Another possibility is to study abroad at one of our academic partners or to find a school on your own and have it approved for credit transfer.

The Summer School option allows students to speed up their studies by enrolling for an optional full 4th quarter during the summer (July to September). Please check our academic calendar for the exact dates.

The Internship option encourages students to put their skills and knowledge into practice. Several internships are offered by the school's corporate partners. Students are of course also free to find an internship on their own, either local or abroad. Per month, 5 elective credits are awarded with a maximum of 3 months or 15 elective credits.

The Accelerated Studies option is intended for those students who were never able to finish their undergraduate studies. Previously accumulated credits will be evaluated and transferred into the study program of your choice. After careful evaluation, a limited number of credits can also be awarded for previous work experience and successfully completed training programs.
