Is International Business School IBS good?
Posted by justbr34dd@reddit | askhungary | View on Reddit | 18 comments
Im from Asia and I really need to study abroad but most of the universities are pretty expensive. I've finished my O-levels and IELTS and Im planning to join the foundation program this year but idk much about this stuff and Im scared I'll make a wrong decision. My initial plan was to attend there and transfer to Germany afterwards. I can't afford to be picky because not many places offer foundation programs. My grades aren't the worst either I got straight As and a good band score. If there are any other options for schools in Europe that accept O-levels, please let me know too!
Help me out pleaseðŸ˜

For building useless relationship with kids of rich parents who are never going to be there in the business life neither in politics because they are incapable of anything

IBS was historically known as the university for rich kids who didn’t really want to study and wanted an easy diploma.
If isn’t a bad university, but in Hungary the public universities provide better education.

Are there any other unis in Europe that offer foundation programs for IGCSE students? I've looked in Ireland and Germany as well but theyre all a bit expensive and I can't afford to have a failed VISA thats why😠My original plan was to get a diploma there and transfer over to germany to finish my studies

No offense, but now you sound like someone using a student visa as a way to get into Europe. Likely to work.
In Hungary, you won’t survive working part time and students are limited how many hours they can work during the school here. Not to mention a lot of competition.

Noo I just really need to leave abroad this year because of my country's issues. My original goal has always been to Germany but I don't have the requirements to attend public university there so I opted for Hungary instead. I thought you can work 30 hrs per week? Obviously i cant work all 30 hours but I assumed I couldve at least cover living and food expenses? Lmk if there are any other options for me!

We referred to people with similar intentions as clowns in my time. You all always dropped out, lost status, and ultimately went back home.Â

Girl what are u talking about if i could choose to stay here id stay here all my life im trying to leave because i have no fucking choice
Due-Inspector3084@reddit
What I am saying is that anyone we had at IBS who enrolled just for the sake of a visa just couldn't stay either way. You can miss a maximum of three seminars per semester, and the school will need to report your lack of attendance. This is impossible while you are working.

I graduated from there 20 years ago, and I think it was one of the best decisions of my life.

Ohh did you transfer to other countries after studying there? I cant get a permanent residence in hungary so I must transfer. If u did, pls share ur experience!!
Due-Inspector3084@reddit
I an Hungarian so I am afraid I can't help with that. However IBS will be more than happy to connect you with graduates who were in a similar situation as you. I would definitely ask them.

There are student accomodations which are modern and have a real sense of community. They have cool parties all the time. I have my own apartment in BP so I lived separately with my GF. One thing I want to say is that the teachers are all accomplished professionals from the private sector so their teaching style will match the market expectations which is great. Also it was realtively stress free as it is a private university so they are flexible with deadlines etc. Students are mostly old/new money, with some scholarship holders, and everyone is nice and open.

Lol my previous comment has been deleted.
I'm Hungarian and I earned my MSc there. It was a really bad decision; the IT program is very weak. A waste of money. The whole time, I had the feeling that this was all just a scam. Plus, half of your classmates will be In*ian, so if you end up in a group with them for a group assignment, you’ll be the one doing all the work. Oh, and professionally speaking, most of the group is a zero—there’s no screening process; anyone off the street can get in as long as they pay the tuition.
