We thrive to be innovative – MBU blends traditional business education with a holistic approach, arming our students with both “hard” and “soft” skills. We are also using cutting edge technology. Our students have access to Segways and Gigabit Internet, wirelessly. The whole University is fitted with Smartboards, and we have casting devices (DLNA, Apple TV, Chromecast) in every room. It is important to teach our students how the technology works, but also the moral values, e.g., to be respectful, ethical and responsible.

As such, we make you employable, and the journey to your employment is fun when preparation meets opportunity. What makes MBU special is the fact that students are supported from the very beginning of their journey at MBU until the very end by our staff and faculty members. Even after graduation, we keep in touch with our alumni and try to help them in every aspect of their adult life. Once an MBU student, always an MBU student! Due to our small classes, none of our students feels lost at MBU – each student gets enough attention to make sure they understand every topic covered in class. The fact that our professors are all business professionals is also highly appreciated – they bring their own experience into the classroom, allowing the students to learn not only from books and case studies but also from their experience and their mistakes. Our internationally recognized diplomas, in addition to a multinational and multicultural environment, enable our students to find their dream job or open their own companies.
