Exploring knowledge for your business success

IBA INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS ACADEMY Master programme

Internationalisation expands the intellectual and cultural horizons

of a person, a company and, furthermore, society. FELU is both

a national leader and an internationally recognised education

and research institution in the area of business and economics -

AACSB, EQUIS, TEDQUAL, and CENTQUIN accredited school.

International Business Academy is a programme

specifically designed to meet the needs of working professionals.

The programme provides a strong, well-rounded foundation

in economics and business administration fields and prepares

participants for efficient and successful socially responsible

management, proactive thinking, and creating added value.

Built on a strategy of excellence, the programme aims to attract

participants with the highest level of business and entrepreneurial

ambition. During the programme you will develop as a person and

learn how to spark growth in any organisation.

The programme courses will be delivered to you by our

distinguished professors with much international experience in

teaching and research. I believe that during the programme you

will enhance your knowledge and skills to even better cope with

challenges in the global, dynamic business environment that we

live and work in. After successfully finishing the programme you

will have the possibility of obtaining a master’s from our institution

after writing your master’s thesis, in which I encourage you to

collate all the knowledge from the programme and your personal

experiences. Nevertheless, I hope that your experience will be

fulfilling and that will open new horizons and new possibilities for

your business and personal life.
