In-depth Admission Interview:
The aim of our admission interview is to find out the motivation to study and to check the knowledge of the English language. No English language test or language proficiency certificate is required, nevertheless, a level of proficiency in English, equivalent to B2 level, is recommended to be able to start studies in English.
The interview is conducted only with the applicants, who meet the application deadline of 28th February.
Topics:
Five main topics have been selected for the IBB admission interview. They serve as the basis for discussion and help the interviewers evaluate the applicant’s interest in international business, their ability to reflect on relevant issues, and their capacity to communicate ideas clearly and effectively in English.
- Discuss your understanding of current global economic trends and their impact on international business.
- Why is being able to work well with different cultures a key to success in business around the world?
- Discuss the role of major countries (or groups of countries) in the world economy and international trade.
- Discuss the role of sustainability in international trade and international business practices.
- Talk about how new technologies are changing the way companies do business all over the world.
You can find a detailed overview of the topics in the document below – Topics for the IBB interviews for admission.
Please note that the specific topic for each applicant’s exam will not be self-selected but will instead be determined by the committee. This approach ensures a fair and balanced assessment for all candidates. As such, we encourage you to prepare thoroughly for all five topics to ensure that you are well-equipped to demonstrate your capabilities, regardless of the topic assigned.
