Why IPB is the "best semester ever“?
Spring 2025 in Mosbach
The International Program in Business (IPB) at the DHBW Mosbach was an incredible experience that I will always remember. We had the chance to study together, exchange ideas, and build friendships across cultures. It was amazing to see how quickly we all connected and created such a great atmosphere. Just within the last 3 months - that flew by so quickly, because time flies when you are having fun!
The academic part of the program was both interesting and engaging. We had a variety of business-related lectures that were interactive and easy to follow. The professors made sure to include real-world examples, which made the topics more relatable. I especially enjoyed the discussions and presentations in class, where we could share different perspectives and learn from each other.
Beyond studying, the program was filled with amazing activities.
The visit to the Technikmuseum Sinsheim was fascinating, and indoor skydiving in Viernheim was an unforgettable experience. Our three-day excursion to Cologne was definitely a highlight - I loved exploring the city and making great memories with the group. The social events, like the running dinner, WG parties, and our wine excursion in Gundelsheim, really made the experience special.
Personally, I really appreciated how much fun we had as a group and how easy it was to connect with everyone. The mix of academic learning and social activities made the program truly special. I am grateful for all the great moments we shared. The IPB program was not just about studying—it was about experiencing something unique together, and I wouldn’t have wanted to miss it!
Here are some words, we, as a course, think of, when reflecting on our time of the IPB:

The IPB24S was an another unforgettable experience! The class was made up of students from Colombia, Chile, Spain and the DHBW Mosbach. In addition our international professors from all around the world (USA, UK, Poland, Slovania, Lithuania and Germany) enriched the intercultural classroom experience. The business classes were supplemented by many exciting excursions and events like a go-kart race, a 3-day trip to Cologne, a visit of the Audi Factory and a shared dinner where everyone could introduce the food of their culture.

„I think the IPB was a great success. We had many fun experiences together like the trip to cologne or all the evenings we ate and played games together. I think we all got closer to one another and learned about each others culture and even polished our Spanish a little!
The IPB made making new friends easy and was an experience I would recommend to everybody.“

It was undoubtedly an experience that I will carry in my memory and heart forever.“

Feedback from former IPB students in Bad Mergentheim:
Garret, IPB 2022 University of North Florida:
"The Students
What I enjoyed the most about my studies at Bad Mergentheim was the friendliness of the students at the university. Not only were the students at the university incredibly welcoming to the international students of the International Program in Business, but they also regularly extended invites to every international student to activities outside the university. This consistent kindness and welcoming atmosphere made the entire time of my studies here at the university a lot more enjoyable and exciting as I never knew what was awaiting me each day.
Looking back
After spending the past several months here in Bad Mergentheim, I can’t help but reflect on all the enjoyable experiences I had here. From the school-scheduled trips, like the local wine hike and the Tauber river tour to the trips that I took with my fellow students like my trip to the Black Forest, I have had plenty of adventures I never would have had if I hadn’t come to the DHBW. Every day I spent here has allowed me to grow as an individual and given me numerous stories to take back to my home university. More than anything, however, I am grateful for the opportunities that have presented themselves to me while on this trip and know without a shadow of a doubt that I will not be leaving this country the same person when I first arrived."
