即时比分 Business Certificate
The ISM 即时比分 Business Certificate program is designed for students with a strong interest in a study abroad semester at a German university. The program offers students strong individual support and academic guidance. The IBC certificate allows students who do not speak German at an advanced level to take business classes in English and earn 30 ECTS credits during their stay at ISM. As a prerequisite, we expect students to have a B2 level of English.
About the 即时比分 Business Certificate (IBC)
