United International Business Schools
Dedicated to cross-cultural education with a global perspective, the United International Business Schools organisation (UIBS) is an independent and accredited private higher education institution with campuses in Europe, Asia and online. UIBS offers flexible business and management studies at the Undergraduate (Bachelor/BBA), Graduate (Master/MBA), and Postgraduate (Doctor/DBA) level.
Programme Profile
Our online MBA will provide you with unparalleled flexibility to study wherever and whenever, from the comfort of your home, after-hours at work, or blended with campus-based courses for the frequent travellers among us.
Network and interact with fellow classmates from around the world to expose yourself to other global perspectives.
Courses are focused on case-based learning in combination with an optional professional internship, with an industry-preferred and cutting-edge professional system to sharpen your digital communication, virtual meeting and new technology skills.
“At UIBS, we learn everything related to the current business environment, which is already focused on digital transformation. But in these unprecedented times, digital learning and working from home is something that has become very relevant very quickly for nearly everyone. Currently, we are following online classes that help us finish our MBAs online and without any unwelcome delays. Fortunately, the school anticipated such a situation happening elsewhere besides its campus in Milan and quickly transitioned its educational systems to online teaching and learning as efficiently as possible. Therefore, I am happy with the online courses I’m following right now and look forward to graduating on time!” - Styn
