What were your personal highlights of your internships?
My 6 month internship at adidas, was without a doubt a highlight of my studies. The ability to gain experience at such an iconic company like adidas and to actively contribute to the strategic and creative decisions of a global sales and retail department was invaluable for me. I was able to develop my confidence through handling real responsibility, experience a new city, meet new people and build professional relationships, which luckily for me led to a job offer!
What makes the IPBS Programme special?
The multi-cultural, professional and truly dynamic nature of this program is what makes it so special. From day one you are a part of a totally international group of like-minded people, about to undertake the same journey as you. You have the opportunity to study two years in a foreign language and country, complete two internships and gain a double degree at the end of it. This program produces well rounded, independent and internationally minded graduates like no other program can.
Your message to current and prospective students.
Student life is short but oh so sweet, so make the most of it! Never again will you be in an environment surrounded by so many others with the same age, interests and goals as you. Work hard, have fun, make friends and most importantly make use of this amazing network and the countless opportunities it creates.
