The first-year Bachelor’s exam for the study programme in International Business is composed of two semesters, comprising:

  • eight (8) compulsory courses of 6.5 credits per course; and
  • two (2) compulsory skills trainings of 4.0 credits per skills training.

Final Bachelor’s exam (Bachelor year two and three)
The final Bachelor’s exam is composed of four semesters.
The first and second semester comprises:

  • eight (8) compulsory courses of 6.5 credits per course;
  • one (1) compulsory skills training of 4.0 credits; and
  • one (1) elective skills training of 4.0 credits.

The third and fourth semester comprises:

  • a study abroad period abroad of 26.0 credits;
  • two (2) elective courses of 6.5 credits per course in the format of the majors;
  • two (2) elective courses of 6.5 credits per course;
  • one (1) Bachelor’s thesis of 8.0 credits.

If, during the period of study abroad, a student acquires 30.0 credits instead of 26.0 credits, the additional 4.0 credits may be used to substitute one of the elective skills trainings (note that compulsory skills trainings cannot be substituted).
A maximum of 4.0 credits of the study abroad requirements or an elective skills training of 4.0 credits can be substituted by doing an internship. A maximum of 6.5 credits of the study abroad requirements can be substituted by doing a summer course abroad. Guidelines are published on MySBE Intranet.
A combination of a summer course and an internship in order to substitute credits for the study abroad is not allowed.

In year 3 students are free to choose their programme within the framework of the Education and Examination Regulations. The rules stipulate that IB students must choose courses from the eight majors offered by the school: Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Information Management, Supply Chain Management, Marketing, Organisation, and Strategy. A major generally consists of four courses, out of which students have to choose two. There are two exceptions:

  1. Accounting: these students may choose next to their two major courses in Accounting another two courses in Accounting, thus replacing the other two elective courses. Thereby they can fulfil the prerequisites for the postdoctoral programme in Accounting.
  2. Entrepreneurship: these students have no electives; hence they have to follow all four core courses.
