Read our former Mibers' experience of being a Miber!
MIBE takes a clear stance: For aspiring leaders only. In an increasingly digital, international and sustainability-demanding world, this means taking responsibility for your actions: on a small scale, but also on a large scale! This is what fascinated me and drew my attention to MIBE. The programme delivered exactly on that promise - students quickly learn to take responsibility especially in the context of integrated projects and use unconventional approaches to address problems in the 'practical' world.
What particularly excited me? MIBE is a pioneer when it comes to future orientation - I was able to gain valuable skills regarding innovation and sustainability.
Where did it lead me? The insights I gained during the programme created a solid foundation for my own entrepreneurial endeavours. I decided to work on founding a company with impact orientation and stakeholder approach - right after graduation. The time in the charming student city Pavia allowed me to broaden my horizons and taught me the valuable lesson 'con la pazienza s'acquista scienza' - this patience to acquire knowledge and wisdom I will take with me as a way of life. It might well be possible that the university slogan 'il sapere che ti cambia la vita' becomes a reality…
MIBE is a great experience that opens a lot of doors for international students. Courses are perfectly designed so the students can learn theoretically and apply it by doing different projects from the real business world. The professional and friendly approach from the MIBE team; the administrative office, professors, and colleagues, left a strong impression on me that I would recommend this experience to anyone.
The program can provide students with international opportunities since the university itself has a lot of offers for Double Degrees and Erasmus+ programs by which they can finish their studies in other countries. Both the Double Degree and Erasmus+ programs took me to Germany where I spent the 2nd year of the MIBE program and thus enabled me to obtain two degrees in two years. I am truly thankful for this journey and to all the people who participated in it.
I completed the MIBE programme in 2022. I am originally from Stuttgart, in southern Germany. I like to describe my “mission of life” as being a responsible-minded entrepreneur.
I chose the MIBE programme, because I was looking for an international- and future-oriented programme with focus on entrepreneurship. In the retrospective, MIBE and the University of Pavia proved to be the best decision! The programme laid the basis for my entrepreneurial journey, particularly with the cornerstone topics of sustainability, innovation, and international entrepreneurship.
During the programme I have acquired applicable skills through the project works within interesting and “ahead-of-the-time” courses. What I am especially grateful for are the social and interpersonal relationships that develop and last beyond the study period. Noteworthy are the relationships with international fellow students, the direct contact with professors and the strong assistance in administrative aspects.
I am looking forward to providing a case study for the programme and to encourage future MIBErs to be leaders of a meaningful change in our society and the world!
Thanks to the deep understanding of the global business landscape, including the challenges and opportunities that arise when conducting business across borders, I have been facilitated in attending the Real Madrid MBA in sport management, which is providing me with numerous contacts in the world of sports.
This degree demonstrates the ability to take on challenging coursework and successfully navigate complex business scenarios. Overall, in my opinion, MIBE is a significant investment in one's future that can lead to exciting opportunities and professional growth in any field.'
My MIBE degree and being a MIBEr is what set me apart from the other candidates when applying for jobs. My two years in Italy were incredible, and I'll never forget it.
MIBE has been a turning point of my life. Coming from another country with humanitarian bachelor degree, MIBE gave me what I was looking for: solid knowledge of Digital marketing & Innovation management, possibility to study within international environment and to apply theoretical background into practice. With certainty I can say that MIBE is a foundation for my fast-growing consulting carrier. Thanks to knowledge gathered and entrepreneurial spirit nurtured during classes, I continue to challenge my-self and innovate within my company’s boundaries.This attitude has been helping me thought all projects I lead: from implementing a tailor-made omnichannel strategy via digital product development to an eCommerce set-up & management.
ONCE MIBEr, FOREVER MIBEr!
