What I like is thatthe name of the program

"International MBA" quadrates tofacts, as all the

courses are not limited to eitherUkrainian or foreign

experience. All the coursescomplement each other. This

is like in a mosaic, when seem�ingly different functional

pieces are combined to create aholistic, global view of

business. Every lecturer is avivid personality and a

professional, having solid back�ground in lecturing and

consulting. All the subjects areconnected with real

business examples. Franklyspeaking it is always a

pity "to part" with a lecturerwhen the course is over.

The International MBA pro�gram is convenient for me

since it covers a widerange of knowledge and

skills within a rather tightschedule, without interrupt�ing my working career. The

program itself is highlyintensive, positively stimu�lating self�discipline skills

development. The fact thatthe courses are taught by

Ukrainian and Canadianlecturers provides us with

an opportunity to get aninteresting mixture of many

various opinions.

Oleg Buryak, Johnson&Johnson

My choice of the IMBA wasdriven by two factors: firstly,

by a focus on financialcourses and, secondly, by

the aspect of enhancementof knowledge. In my opinionIMBA program provides stu�dents with a systematic viewof all the functional areas of

business. The programopens new possibilities offunctional, interfunctionaland career development.

IMBA program has attractedme by its balanced approachtowards materials selection,

faculty composition,Canadian and Ukrainian

experience etc.

The IMBA program consists of two parts. The option to takesome of the courses abroad is available.

The first part consists of 16 courses taught by IIB faculty. Itprovides students with skills in the core functional areas ofbusiness and introduces them to key concepts of businesseconomics, management, finance, marketing, operations,human resources management and other areas.

Undoubtedly, expenses oftime and energy will pay back

in due course. Now, on thesecond year, it’s still early to

speak about it, since we areonly on the middle of the way.

But even at this stage theenclosed expenses bring quite

good dividends.

Aleksandr Poddenezhniy,JSC "Elopak � Fastov"

In my opinion, an IMBAserves to link as well as to

enhance your experience andknowledge, so that you canapply it in a variety of situa�

tions. The particular programat IIB is unique; the personalundivided attention that you

get from every teacher ispriceless. Believe me I know,

I used to study in Englandand when you have 120 stu�

dents in a big lecture theatre,you feel lost. Here at IIB all

lectures are interactive. Theexperience that your class�

mates share combined witheach lecturer's knowledge

and experience gives you aunique perspective on the

subjects you study. The depthof knowledge of lecturers is

exceptional; they always useup�to�date information and

examples from Ukrainian aswell as world business prac�

tice. After the first day at IIB, Iunderstood that this was the

place where I wanted tostudy. The lecturing process

here is unlike any you 'veexperienced before in any

Ukrainian university. It's dif�ferent, it's modern, and it's

made for your convenience.

The IMBA provides you with aunique opportunity to

enrich your level of manageri�al perception. Applying

for this program I expected tofocus on the development ofmanagerial skills (instead of

"quasi�secondeducation " of a wide scope of

subject�matter only) andI am satisfied with what I have

gained thus far. Surely,it is challenging to juggle

studying with full�time work;however, I have already wit�nessed benefits of the pro �

gram in my day�to�day activi�ties. I also appreciate theself�development gained

through sharing experiencesand knowledge with other stu�

dents and consider it tobe a big benefit of the pro�

gram. I see how perfectly theidea of self development in

the experience sharingenvironment functions. Inaddition, one of the major

benefits of the program is itsdesign as a Canadian

management school trans�formed through Ukrainian

business particularities.
