From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bachelor in International Business (BIB) [1][2] is an academic programme and an undergraduate degree. The BIB is similar to the Bachelor of Business Administration with an international perspective. As a Bachelor degree course the BIB focus on introduction to a broad field of subjects such as Management, International Business, International Business Law, Foreign Culture and Foreign Languages.

The Bachelor in International Business can be studied at Grenoble Graduate School of Business (ranked 29th in Financial Times European Business schools Ranking in 2011)[3] , who delivers the programme in partnership with London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) since 2008 at the London Campus of LSBF. Grenoble Graduate School of Business, a subdivision of Grenoble Ecole de Management possess triple accreditation from the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS)[4] , the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB)[5] and the Association of MBAs (AMBA)[6] . The BIB has been ranked 5th in France by Le Figaro in 2011[7].

Cultural Diversity

[edit]

As a programme that typically enrols a range of nationalities, it can be said that cultural diversity is present. More than 95% of the current ca.140 London BIB students have a foreign background ranging from Brazil to Sri Lanca [8] . In addition, the compulsory language module each semester enables the students to learn another foreign language apart from English and get to know cultural aspects of the chosen language. Besides Grenoble Graduate School of Business and London School of Business and Finance exchange professors within the two campuses in London and Grenoble on a regular basis, but also invite visiting professors from other universities as well as business professionals from all over the world (e. g.
