International Business Academy (IBA)
IBA is a public institution under the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science. The IBA offers higher education programmes at AP, Professional Bachelor’s and Master’s levels, within areas such as finance, sales and marketing, communication, technology and web, production and management, amongst others.
At the IBA, we are passionate about developing and delivering education programmes that work in the real world, creating value for both companies and people. Within the programmes we combine theory with practical skills, based around cases and projects, in collaboration with the business world – with internships as standard, or based around adult students’ regular working days within a company. The IBA also puts focus on research, innovation and development, in collaboration with a wide range of companies and partner institutions, in Denmark as well as abroad.
In the summer of 2024, the IBA was added to the list of UNESCO Schools Network. This is a worldwide network of educational institutions that collaborate and exchange knowledge. Members recognise UNESCO’s values and the United Nations’ 17 Global Goals.
