“This is my second time attending International Week at IBA. I came back because I love the vibe and the city. It is also a great opportunity to meet people from all over the world and work with innovation and entrepreneurship,” says Bruno Pereira, who studies at Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão in Portugal.

“I am attending International Week at IBA because I would like to learn more about Scandinavia. I would love to work for a company here once I graduate. I like the culture, and I think Denmark is a beautiful country,” says Diego Costa (left), who studies at Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão in Portugal. He is pictured with his fellow student Bruno Pereira.
“I live and study in Romania, but my parents live in Denmark, so Denmark is my second home. I am attending International Week to experience the school and find out whether I should do my master’s degree at IBA,” says Lorena Georgiana Constantin, who studies at Romanian-American University. Students from Hungary and Romania meet on the bridge in front of IBA during International Week — a week where students from 33 different nationalities come together for classes and social activities.
Ildiko Antal, Director of the International Department at IBA, has herself studied in many different countries and told the students that the week is not only about projects and academic work. It is equally about building relationships that can extend far beyond this International Week.
The many participants attending International Week at IBA Erhvervsakademi Kolding learned about Danish culture from Anatolie Cantir, who originally comes from Moldova but has lived in Denmark for many years.
More than 100 students and lecturers from 33 different countries travelled to IBA Erhvervsakademi Kolding to take part in International Week.
