Program Description

The 3+1 program enables students to undergo three years in Binus International and one year in the partner university. In contrast, the 2+2 program facilitates students to take the first two years in Binus International and the last two years at a chosen partner university. The four-year study program is intended to equip students with the fundamentals of international business and management competencies while emphasizing the understanding of doing business in an international context, combined with in-depth cultural experience.

Current case studies, articles, and textbooks pertinent to Southeast Asian (ASEAN) and entrepreneurship are carefully selected to enhance the students’ global perspectives. The program also incorporates company visits and guest lectures from prominent industries to assist students in obtaining a practical and dynamic outlook of today’s business environment.

The first year emphasizes the fundamental concept of management with a substantial assessment in terminology definition and explanatory context. In the second year, students are trained to develop their analytical thinking, equipped with case study applications, in order to gain a wider business perspective. The third and fourth year will concentrate on the final assessment through critical thinking discussion, case study enhancement, and an analytical final project that would accumulate and be completed by thesis writing as a graduation requirement.
