“The unique nature of GEM's BIB program is due to its

diverse student and faculty bodies, as well as a team-based
learning environment. I appreciated the constant
exposure to different schools of thought which dares
students to think outside the box.

Professors encourage discussions that question the status

quo and help in building both hard and soft skills needed
to drive International Business forward. The curriculum
bridges the gap between classroom learnings and real-life
applications, which provides an ideal foundation for
entering the job market.” - Anuschka Ried

A word from the program director : “Right from the first day and the moment you walk
into the classroom, you will feel the sensation of entering a whole new world of global business.
Inspired by international faculty from both the academic and professional fields and by joining
a multicultural student body made up of 60-70 different nationalities, you will immediately
start to learn how to act like future professionals. Through innovative teaching methods and
within small groups, you will be taught how to develop your hard and soft skills and how to
thrive and adapt to the ever-changing world of international management.” - Nancy Locatelli
