Where practical learning opens doors

Yessica Cubillas Camou, Mexico, Class of 2023

Real projects, company visits, and strong connections with businesses turned what I learned in the classroom into valuable experience for my career.

For Yessica Cubillas Camou, the Master’s program in International Business Management at CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences stands out for its combination of high-quality teaching, practical learning, and close connections to the business world. She particularly valued the opportunity to learn from lecturers who combine academic expertise with real-world professional experience.

The boutique-sized classes also created an environment where students received personal attention and could engage closely with their lecturers. This made it easier to understand complex business concepts and, importantly, apply them to practical situations.

A strong connection to the business world was another highlight for Yessica. Through company connections and job opportunities, students can gain access to internships and potential career opportunities with companies in the region and beyond. During her studies, Yessica completed an internship at a local company, an experience that she describes as a major step forward for her career.

The practical approach of the IBM program extends throughout the curriculum. Real-world projects, case studies, company visits, and business simulations allow students to test their knowledge and develop the skills needed to tackle business challenges. Opportunities to study abroad add an international dimension and further broaden students’ perspectives.

For Yessica, this combination of theory, practical experience, and international exposure makes the IBM program a valuable preparation for a career in today’s global business environment.
