“IMB provided the perfect mix of practical applications and insightful discussions, helping me enhance not only technical skills but also the soft skills needed to thrive in any environment. With a strong focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and resilience, the fast-paced structure truly prepares you to step into the corporate world with confidence. It’s an experience that challenges you, inspires growth, and changes the way you navigate challenges and opportunities, all while being a part of a close-knit community that makes it even more rewarding.”

"Choosing IMB was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The course’s intensity and highly relevant content bridged the gaps in my skillset, giving me the foundation I needed to launch my start-up. I look back fondly on the countless hours spent collaborating with my classmates on real projects for real companies—an experience that was both challenging and incredibly rewarding. The lecturers were down-to-earth, yet pushed us to think critically and grow in the best way possible. As an international student, I felt genuinely welcomed and formed lifelong friendships. IMB is truly a hidden gem in Ljubljana, offering an outstanding Master’s program that delivers real-world impact."

''The IMB program pushed me beyond my comfort zone, challenging me while simultaneously giving me the confidence to know that I am capable of operating at the highest level. The intensity of the year—both academically and socially—prepared me for high-pressure environments, long working hours, and the reality of balancing personal well-being with professional ambition. The hands-on projects, teamwork, and exposure to real business challenges shaped my ability to think strategically, adapt quickly, and perform under pressure. Additionally, studying in an international environment taught me how to express my opinions with confidence and respect, fostering constructive discussions across diverse perspectives. IMB is more than a program—it’s an experience that equips you with the mindset and skills to thrive in any career.''
