Student Stories
Discover what makes BI special—straight from our students. From inspiring lectures to life in a diverse, international community—our students share their BI journey.
There are so many different cultures and stories at BI that makes it a fascinating community. Because our professors and lecturers are from all over the globe, we get all these different inputs and architectural ideas that will help us in our future careers.
It is amazing how international my classmates are. We all have diverse backgrounds and experiences but are united by sharing the same passion for graphic design. This diversity brings a fresh perspective to my studies and my personal life.
My advice to the future students of BI is to take a chance and don’t miss the opportunity to be in a multicultural environment at a university that will help chart the path towards your future self.
Berlin International has a unique and supportive community consisting of both international staff and students. The teachers here give constructive feedback and value each student's contribution.
BI has pushed me to challenge myself in a safe space. I believe this is a positive environment with incredible teachers, staff, and peers who are always willing to help and want to see you succeed.
The cultural diversity of BI naturally broadens the horizons of every student. Being with people who think differently automatically shifts your perspective and improves your thinking methodology.
The reason I chose BI is the MBA curriculum. It not only includes the major management fundamentals but also offers subjects in Data Analytics and Digital Business Management, which are the new norms of the business world.
BI has a very diverse student body, representative of the global population, that is academically and personally enriching. I am impressed by the various backgrounds of the instructors and professors. I’m also impressed by the university's prime location in the center of continental Europe.
