Tessa Preitschopf
As a student at IBHS, I can say with complete confidence that the school absolutely meets my expectations. The accelerated program, the emphasis on hands-on experience, the small class sizes, and the excellent guidance from the instructors—it all comes together perfectly. The addition of company visits and field trips gives me the opportunity to learn how things actually work in practice.
Experiences
What do others say about our Amsterdam Business School?
Cheyenne Wijs
I don't believe that the current education system brings out the best in students, motivates them most effectively, or offers them the best learning method. At IBHS, Action Learning is a top priority, and the learning process and understanding (rather than just achieving results) are more important.
Experiences
What do others say about our Amsterdam Business School?
Daniëll Severien
I chose IBHS because of its small-scale and personalized learning environment. Practical learning and personal development are the top priorities. This is reflected in the faculty, who come from the business world themselves, and in the consulting reports where we, as students, must apply the theory we’ve learned in practice. We write these consulting reports for real companies that need to make improvements.
Experiences
What do others say about our Amsterdam Business School?
Willem den Rooijen
My experience at IBHS has been very positive. Students and teachers all get along well, and there’s always a pleasant atmosphere at the school. The teachers strive to bring out the best in every student. In my opinion, the most valuable thing IBHS offers is the personal growth you experience as a student at this school.
