Master's and Doctoral Studies – Options and Programs
IBS – International Business School is a private business school founded in 1991 in Budapest. Today, it also operates in Vienna and Dubai, offering international study programs that combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills. All programs are conducted exclusively in English, and the degrees are recognized and accredited in the United Kingdom (including collaboration with the University of Buckingham). IBS is known for its strong focus on business practice and solid connections with companies across Europe and worldwide.
Studying abroad is no longer a privilege, but a strategic decision for the future. Hungary, Austria, and Dubai offer high-quality education, modern study programs in English, and exceptional living conditions. Budapest is a vibrant and affordable European city rich in history and culture, Vienna provides a calm and high-standard environment, while Dubai represents a modern, innovative, and globally connected city in the heart of the Middle East. IBS gives you the opportunity to choose between these three prestigious locations!

cities.
When it comes to food, students have a wide choice: from university canteens and affordable restaurants, to local cafés, bakeries, and supermarkets. Food and daily necessities prices are most affordable in Budapest, somewhat higher in Vienna, while Dubai is the most expensive, but still competitive compared to other global metropolises.

Enrollment Dates and Scholarships
● Enrollment Deadlines: IBS has two main enrollment intakes per year: September (main intake for most bachelor's and master's programs) and February (spring intake, available for certain programs such as master's studies). This applies to all campuses (Budapest, Vienna, Dubai), with the possibility of flexible start dates for some specialized modules, but standardly only two intakes per year for most students.
● Early Bird Applications: IBS offers early bird discounts and priority access to scholarships for applications submitted early – usually until March 31 for the September intake and until September 30 for the February intake. This provides higher chances for merit-based scholarships (up to 50% of tuition) and early accommodation reservation, especially for international students.
● Final Deadlines: Final deadlines are July 15 for the September intake and December 15 for the February intake. For non-EU students and those requiring a visa, it is recommended to apply at least 3 months in advance due to the visa process (e.g., student visa for Hungary or Austria can take 4–8 weeks). Individual deadlines may vary by program, so they should be checked on the application page.
