Applying for Admission
|
Attention 2009 IBIM Candidates! If possible, IBIM students should attend Bentley |
The IBIM application process is competitive, and the program is best suited to the student seeking a deeper understanding of different academic systems, cultures, and even his- or herself. Such students will make a significant effort to observe, learn and adapt as they travel and study abroad. Student success in the program depends on factors such as:
- independence
- maturity
- responsibility
- adaptability
- academic initiative
- intellectual and cultural curiosity
With this in mind, applications will be evaluated using the following criteria:
- demonstrated interest in learning about global management and information technology in a European setting
- high academic achievement
- program fit with academic and personal goals
