Welcome to the IBU family,

ACCREDITATION

University accreditation is an activity initiated by an institution and executed by authorized and independent accreditation agencies. State accreditation of a higher education institution is mandatory and universities can also opt for international accreditation to work on improving quality and reputation building. The accreditation process requires rigorous self-evaluation and an independent and objective assessment of the overall quality of education ensuring that higher education institutions meet set standards and are trained to deliver students programs they offer. Accreditation emphasizes quality assurance and commitment to continuous quality improvement.

Educating
hearts and minds

Aristotle said that „Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all“.

Educating the heart refers to the importance of not only focusing on developing the cognitive aspects (our minds) but also all the qualities that make us human (our hearts) and ultimately give us meaning in our lives.

We challenge our students to overcome barriers and develop critical thinking but also to develop deep emotional intelligence, empathy, compassion, altruism, and kindness. To maximize your potential you have to manage both intelligence and emotions.

The illustration (heart), which is a visual representation of our vision of education, was designed by professor Ranko Anđelić from the Department of Graphic Design and Multimedia at the International Burch University in cooperation with the team of the Marketing and PR Department.
