International Business

Introduction

The International Business (IB) program focuses on implementing student-centered learning, fostering young minds through theories learned, and providing a supportive environment for practice and discovery. As part of the Binus Business School International Undergraduate Program as the first private university in Indonesia to receive AACSB accreditation, IB aspires to be a purveyor of tomorrow’s leaders and entrepreneurs, thus evolving and adapting to the current business environment.

The IB program boasts the largest partner universities across the globe to provide double-degree program opportunities for its students with various streaming options. Supported by international faculty members who are rich in industry experience that fosters a dynamic and stimulating classroom experience, customized through global team projects, case studies, industry visits, and international seminars. The double-degree programs offer students international exposure and global networking by partaking in practical experience both on and off campus, developing critical thinking analysis, innovative mindset, and soft skills competency. A first-year gateway introduces business disciplines and theories, followed by local and overseas business applications to real-world problems in the second year through case studies. As part of the Merdeka Belajar initiatives, students are exposed to practical training outside campus to partake in internships, research, entrepreneurship, or community development programs. They enter the double-degree program by studying at their choice of streaming options in the third or fourth year. These programs will cultivate the knowledge and experience they need to become business leaders and positively impact today’s challenging economic and social issues.

Program Description

There are three options of double-degree offered in the IB program. The 4+0 offers students a double-degree program without leaving their home country. Though fully studying at the host campus, students will still experience an international setting by partaking in a one-semester study abroad at the partner university. The 3+1 program enables students to undergo a 3-year learning at the host campus and a 1-year international experience at the partner university. In contrast, the 2+2 program facilitates students to take the first two years at the host campus and the last two years at the partner university. The four-year program is intended to equip students with the fundamentals of international business and management competencies while emphasizing the understanding of doing business in an international context, combined with in-depth cultural experience.

Current business case studies, articles, and textbooks are carefully selected to enhance the students’ global perspectives. The program also incorporates company visits and guest lectures from prominent industries to assist students in obtaining a practical and dynamic outlook of today’s business environment. The first year emphasizes the fundamental management concept with a substantial assessment of terminology definition and explanatory context. In the second year, students are trained to develop their analytical thinking, equipped with case study applications, to gain a wider business perspective and build business acumen. The third and fourth year will concentrate on the final assessment through critical thinking discussion, case study enhancement, and an analytical final project that would accumulate and be completed by thesis writing as a graduation requirement.

Students are exposed to global business applications and practices from around the world through global team projects embedded in the curriculum. The program is taught by well-qualified professors from prestigious business schools, both local and expatriate, complemented by rich industry experience. The program also draws extensively upon the teaching experience of its international collaborative partner universities. Our international learning experience prepares our graduates to engage with prestigious SMEs and multinational organizations successfully. The IB program prepares its students to become international business professionals who can strategically manage a well-established multinational business and expand local business globally.
