WHY STUDY THE IB CAREER-RELATED PROGRAMME?

At NAIS Rotterdam, our IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) empowers students to achieve their academic and professional goals while developing practical skills for life beyond school.

The IBCP is an excellent choice for career-focused students who enjoy the challenges of hands-on, real-world learning. Project-based assessment forms a key part of this programme, making it ideal for motivated and independent learners.

With its forward-thinking approach, the IBCP is also a great fit for globally minded, socially responsible future leaders. Our partnership with SUMAS, the Sustainability Management School in Switzerland, brings an innovative business perspective to the IBCP curriculum, with a focus on sustainability, entrepreneurship and ethical leadership.

Whether your child is passionate about business, health sciences, design, technology or sustainability, our IBCP offers a flexible curriculum that balances IB Diploma courses with professional learning pathways. Studying the IBCP opens doors to multiple future pathways after graduation, including specialised university degrees, apprenticeships and direct employment. Our programme’s emphasis on critical thinking, intercultural understanding and workplace skills sets students up for success – no matter what they want to be or do.
