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:
“Bolkenstein, a Minister, was speaking on the Dutch programme from London, and he said that they ought to make a collection of diaries and letters after the war. Of course, they all made a rush at my diary immediately. Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a romance of the “Secret Annexe.” The title alone would be enough to make people think it was a detective story.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
“In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
