Program

The IBC program starts in Fall and Spring semester. Every semester you can choose from the courses below. You decide which subjects you take and how your study at Fontys will look like!

How will your course programme be recognised by your home university? Fontys will issue you with a so-called ‘Transcript of Records’, which will detail the results that you have achieved. If your studies have been successful, you will receive 30 ECTS credits for one semester. ECTS credits are study points that are recognised throughout Europe. The agreement between your home university and Fontys will usually include a condition whereby the credits that you obtain at Fontys will be recognised and transferred into the records kept by your home university.
