IBS Students Achieve Excellent Set of First Results

Quality results, achieved by quality students, delivered by quality staff in a quality institution..

Students taking the BA (Hons) Business Studies Degree at the International Business School have received their first set of results. Overall results at the end of their first semester are 6% above fellow students following the same syllabus at Liverpool John Moores University, the institution's academic partner for the degree. 

IBS Director, Professor Roger Carey, gave his warmest congratulations to the students and recognised that the excellent set of results stemmed from the students commitment and dedication to the course, and the very hard work that they had put in during their first semester. He told the students, "The International Business School aims to be 'the best' - you have made a very positive contribution towards that goal and established a very high standard, setting a splendid example for others to follow."

Professor Carey also commented that, "These results reflect the reality of what is being achieved at the International Business School. Our staff and students are working extremely hard to build and maintain the reputation and 'track record' of a Higher Education institution of which the Isle of Man can be proud.

IBS degree programmes follow the rigorous quality standards of our academic partners and to have achieved such high results on the first run through of the programme is very pleasing. These are quality results, achieved by quality students, delivered by quality staff in a quality institution."

Performance is assessed through the completion of assignments and examinations.
