How does assessment work? What about exams?
To validate your year, you will be assessed in each subject through a combination of continuous assessment, group work and a mid-term exam. Rest assured: your future does not rest on a single grade.
Is it possible to study a second foreign language (LV2) throughout the programme?
A second foreign language can be studied in Year 1 and Year 2 (BIBA1 and BIBA2). From Year 3 onwards, other options are available to strengthen your language skills, such as seminars, exchanges at partner universities, internships and interactions with international students on campus.
What destinations are available for a period of study abroad?
You will be able to choose from more than 50 available destinations. The teaching teams and students from previous cohorts are on hand to help you make this decision.

Is support provided for administrative procedures?
Yes, because university start dates and procedures vary from one institution to another — and even more so from country to country — which requires specific preparation. A dedicated department within the school supports you throughout all these procedures and provides personalised follow-up during your stay abroad.
Does the school offer support in finding a work-study placement?
Yes. You can contact the MBS Career Centre, where career coaches will help you build your professional project (ambitions, positioning, interview preparation) and will regularly offer workshops and meetings with the school’s partner companies. The Career Centre also organises on-campus recruitment sessions to support your search.
What funding options are available?
MBS offers more than ten financial assistance schemes. For further information, please visit the Financing page of the Bachelor Programme.
