About us

The International Business College Mitrovica (IBC-M) is based in the town of Mitrovica in Kosovo, at the centre of the Balkan region’s most pressing social, economic and environmental challenges. Located near the widely known Trepca mine, the tension between profit and prosperity, lack of scalability for imperative business in a healthy economy, society and environment, all come together in the Mitrovica region, symbolizing much of the wider struggles of the Western Balkans. IBC-M is an educational institution of higher education, which offers practice-oriented professional education. It is at present the only inter-ethnic higher educational institution in Kosovo and one of the most successful international efforts to include the Kosovo Serbian community in North Kosovo. IBC-M was founded in 2010 with the aim of improving employability through study programmes with a heavy focus on practice and skills, supporting economic development in the region and bridging the ethnic groups in Mitrovica.
