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 double degree programme of studies between IBS (Hungary) and The University of Buckingham (UK), delivered in Budapest, covers the core knowledge and skills related to your programme using an interactive and practice-oriented approach to teaching and learning in small groups, and it also includes the UpSkill programme, our HR award-winning employability skills development framework as part of your studies.
