What people are saying?
N.P., Student
26 years oldStudents have a voice. They're allowed to express their concerns to the managing team and for the most part, they're quite quick in giving meaningful responses.
E.I., Alumni
33 years oldI was part of a class of 54 students from 32 different countries. The university brings over professors from other countries too. Exchanging opinions and sharing our own experiences with each other is fascinating. Besides my master degree education, I learned a lot about other countries, other cultures, and a lot about Italian culture, which I fell in love with. The career building program helped me find a job faster than other business schools I’ve heard of, that don’t even have a career building program. BBS encourages innovation a lot. Students are encouraged to share their experiences from which not only students but also professors learn from. I made friends from all over the world. I never felt discriminated for any reason. Even admissions personnel didn’t treat me as a number but called me by my name, which was not the case in other universities I applied to. If I went back to the past, I’d attend BBS again. It was an amazing experience, that lead me to the nice life I now have.
J.R., Alumni
37 years oldAt BBS, the cultural landscape is dynamic, fostering an entrepreneurial spirit that encourages innovation and creativity among students. Active participation is not just encouraged but celebrated, creating a vibrant community of individuals who are eager to engage, collaborate, and contribute. The emphasis on ethics underscores the importance of integrity and responsibility in all aspects of academic and professional life. Furthermore, BBS takes pride in its diverse and inclusive environment, recognizing the value that different perspectives and backgrounds bring to the overall learning experience.
