Programme Content IBMS Groningen
In the first year, subjects are linked by a practical business case; in one of the semesters, students apply the knowledge acquired in their roles as consultants for a company needing advice. In the other semester, a similar structure is used; students develop a business plan in which they learn how to sell a product or service, how to organize a company and establish its legal form, and how to convince a financial institution to invest in their company.
The second year combines in-depth international business subjects with electives relating to specific fields of study that prepare the student for the next year abroad, Subjects include: Supply Chain Management, Business Research Methods, and Career Training and Development.
During the third year (study and placement semester abroad) students spend one semester studying at one of the 50 partner schools abroad (in Western and Eastern Europe, North and South America, Australia and the Far East). It provides a unique opportunity to broaden both knowledge and experience of different cultures. The other semester in the third year is spent working in a company outside of students’ home countries.
The fourth year offers both core and elective modules related to the majors (specialization). Students participate in a final graduation project in which they are regarded as consultants for an external company. Students obtain, define, analyze and research a business-related problem, write a final report and present/defend their findings in an oral presentation.

Famous quotes containing the words programme and/or content:
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“It seems that I must bid the Muse to pack,
Choose Plato and Plotinus for a friend
Until imagination, ear and eye,
Can be content with argument and deal
In abstract things; or be derided by
A sort of battered kettle at the heel.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
