UIBS’s flexibility it offers to students extends across many areas, such as the choice of multiple start dates (students may choose to begin their programme in the Autumn, Winter, Spring, or Summer of each academic year) and the option to transfer between its various campuses (students may do this on a quarterly basis and have full programme compatibility no matter which campus at which they study).

As for the classroom setting; UIBS professors are ‘academically qualified and professionally experienced’ individuals who combine both theoretical and practical aspects in their teaching through the study of real-life, modern case studies. In addition to this, the institution strives to keep class sizes small – with up to 30 students in each class. By doing this, UIBS places an emphasis on interpersonal interaction and group work in the classroom.
