Interested in the Global MBA?
IBRs Global MBA is a blend of residential periods and assignments that are designed as practical in-company projects. It is the best example of a truly work integrated MBA programme, rooted in the experience of the German dual-education. IBR runs six weekly residential periods in Europe, Asia, Australia, America, and Africa. Locations of residentials depend on the students’ country of residence. With a maximum of 20 students, classes are small to allow personal interaction between faculty and students.
In addition to residentials, assignments are pitched to optimise bottom-line performance at IBRs students‘ workplace thus creating real value for their employers. IBR complements each assignment with a tutorial session, offering coaching opportunities professionally and academically.
There is no better way to learn. Why?
Global MBA students love that the programm is:
- tailor-made for every single student
- global
- optimal for working executives
- made in Germany

Kairos PhD – Supported by IBR
A research-based doctoral journey offered by Kairos University (USA) and supported by IBR Institute of International Business Relations GmbH, the contextualisation partner in Europe.
The Kairos PhD, supported by IBR Institute of International Business Relations GmbH, uniquely focuses on each researcher and their individual research interests rather than on the research agenda of a supervising professor. The programme encourages doctoral researchers to apply the outcomes of their studies toward the upliftment of businesses, NGOs, industries, societies, or even nations—contributing to the broader vision of human flourishing within their chosen field of research.
The Kairos mentoring approach, coordinated by IBR, has been highly valued by participants from Singapore to Minneapolis and from Stuttgart to Cape Town. Typically, doctoral researchers meet with their Affiliate Professors of Kairos University (USA) weekly via web-conferencing, receiving responsive academic guidance and timely feedback on their progress.
The Kairos PhD is a research-based doctoral programme with no formal coursework requirements, classified at EQF Level 8 in the European Union and United Kingdom and NQF Level 10 in Australia and South Africa.
IBR serves as the contextualisation partner of Kairos University, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, USA. Within this partnership, Kairos University awards the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree, while IBR provides mentoring coordination, learning resources, and research-related support through faculty members who are appointed by Kairos University as Affiliate Professors.
