IBS International Business School is coming to Yerevan soon, bringing European academic excellence to one of the region’s most historic and rapidly developing capitals. At our brand-new Yerevan Academic Support Services campus, we offer a British business degree that equips you with the skills, mindset, and global perspective needed to succeed in today’s competitive international economy.
Students in Yerevan can now apply to two of our flagship English-language programmes:
An undergraduate programme that blends strategic thinking, entrepreneurship, and hands-on business experience to prepare future professionals for leadership roles across industries.
MSc in Strategic International Management
A postgraduate programme designed for graduates aiming to develop advanced knowledge in global business strategy, innovation, and leadership in an international context.
The following Bachelor's programme, offered in a hybrid mode by IBS (Hungary) and The University of Buckingham (UK), is a 3-year full-time course delivered in Yerevan.
BSc in Business Management
Successful managers are part futurists, part historians. They elaborate on the future consequences of their decisions while using the experiences of the past. They know which problems to deal with, in what order, what can go wrong and how to motivate people to contribute to a constructive solution quickly. Sounds easy, right?
This degree programme between IBS (Hungary) and The University of Buckingham (UK), delivered in Yerevan in a hybrid mode, covers the core knowledge and skills related to your programme using an interactive and practice-oriented approach to teaching and learning in small groups.
