Metropolitan program options

Pre-Master Seminars

This entirely optional and fully customizable program allows students who do not hold a business-related Bachelor degree or equivalent to complete additional levelling courses in order to be fully prepared for our graduate programs.

90-credit Dual Master

Continue at UIBS and earn a second private (programmatically-accredited) Master degree for an additional 30 European credits and a total of 90 European credits on a full-time or part-time basis throughout the campus network, including also in an online, executive or blended format. Any combination of programs is possible, including with those from our sister institution, European College for Liberal Studies (ECLS). The applicable program requirements will depend on the combination of programs. Shorter 12-credit Graduate Certificate programs and 24-credit Graduate Diploma programs are also available that can be completed on top of your Master program. Additional dual degree programs are available with our academic partners; these typically add another academic year to your studies rather than 1 to 2 additional quarters.

Professional Internship

The Internship option encourages students to put their skills and knowledge into practice through offers received by our Careers Department from regional and international companies and organizations. No credits can be awarded for internships. Internship agreements of up to 3 months are available only for students with a national passport or residence permit and cannot be considered for a student visa extension.

Private Tutoring and Private Coaching

The Private Tutoring and Private Coaching options allow students to schedule additional one-on-one sessions with professors or study coaches to catch up on missed contact hours or to receive additional academic support. Sessions are charged per hour and take place on-campus at a time that is convenient for both the student and professor or coach.
