International Professional Baccalaureate is a professionally oriented study program designed for learners who wish to strengthen their academic foundation and practical readiness for future progression in business, economics, and related professional pathways. The program is suitable for ambitious individuals seeking structured development at an early stage of their academic or professional journey. The title International Professional Baccalaureate is a registered title by the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property under registration number 837450.

This study program is positioned at a level comparable to ISCED / EQF Level 3. ISCED refers to the International Standard Classification of Education, an internationally recognized framework used to classify education levels across different countries. EQF refers to the European Qualifications Framework, which helps compare qualifications and learning levels across Europe. Level 3 generally reflects learning that builds solid theoretical understanding, practical skills, and the ability to carry out tasks with a degree of independence and responsibility.

The program is intended for students from the minimum age of 17 years old and is designed to support learners who are ready to progress from basic knowledge into a more focused and career-oriented stage of study. It is particularly suitable for students holding Level 2 qualifications, as well as individuals with relevant work experience in a related setting who demonstrate ambition, commitment, and clearly defined career goals. It is also appropriate for those who already hold a Level 3 qualification in another field and wish to further develop their profile and career direction in Business Economics.

With a study volume of 60 credits, where 1 credit equals 25 hours of Total Qualification Time (TQT), the program offers a meaningful and structured learning experience that supports both academic growth and practical competence. The minimum duration is 1 year, while also providing flexibility for students who may wish to extend their study period according to their personal, professional, or academic circumstances.

The International Professional Baccalaureate is ideal for learners who aim to build confidence, strengthen essential knowledge, and prepare for higher-level studies or professional advancement. It serves as an important step for those who value international-style learning, progression opportunities, and a practical academic framework that supports future success.
