ISSBS gave me more than knowledge. It also introduced me to many people and helped me build valuable professional connections. I met many people I still work with today, and, above all, formed genuine relationships and friendships that have remained part of my life long after graduation. The School opened up many new opportunities for me and taught me how to communicate, work with others, organise, negotiate and build connections. I particularly value this practical focus and the emphasis on working with people, as I have come to see how important these experiences are in the business world.
Over the years, ISSBS gave me a strong foundation in management, work organisation, business communication, strategic thinking and working with people. The School gave me more than theoretical knowledge: it broadened my perspective, strengthened my confidence and taught me how to connect theory with practice, which I value greatly today. That is also why I decided to continue with a master’s degree in management and further develop my knowledge.

Director of SKI SIMULATOR d.o.o.
I chose to study at ISSBS because I wanted to build on my practical experience in sales and business development with broader knowledge. I was interested not only in earning a qualification, but also in developing a more structured way of thinking, understanding business decisions and learning to see a company as a whole.
What I valued most about the programme was the way it connected theory with real business situations. I could relate much of what I learned directly to the challenges I face at work and look at them from a different perspective. I would recommend ISSBS especially to people who want to continue their personal and professional development while working and put their knowledge into practice.
In my view, the programme’s greatest strength is its ability to connect different fields and provide a broader understanding of business. My studies gave me more than additional knowledge: they gave me a more structured way of thinking. That is something I continue to benefit from long after graduating.

Sales and business development in the metallurgical and plastics industries
Studying at ISSBS enabled me to further develop my knowledge while working and gain a broader understanding of business. As I was already employed during my studies, I was able to connect the topics covered in individual courses with real-life situations, which I particularly enjoyed. The knowledge I gained now helps me in my day-to-day work, where I deal with various areas of business and take on increasing levels of responsibility. My studies also gave me a solid foundation for further career development and greater confidence in taking on new challenges. I have very positive memories of my time at ISSBS and would choose this path again.
Eva Lajhar
Accountant at Marovt d.o.o.
After graduating from ISSBS, I continued my career in line with the plans I had made during my studies. I joined a local company that provides accounting, tax advisory and business management services. Over time, I expanded my work to include helping young entrepreneurs set up their businesses. I also found a new business opportunity in running a flower shop. I opened it with my fiancée and parents, and we now have an additional colleague working with us. Our entrepreneurial story continues to grow and develop.
I have very fond memories of studying at ISSBS. I particularly valued the insight it gave me into the realities of entrepreneurship and the practical knowledge we gained in individual courses. This knowledge also helped me better understand the value of money and its role in the business world. I would especially like to mention dr. Rado Pezdir, whose expertise, clear explanations, and relaxed approach contributed greatly to a positive study environment and effective learning. I would gladly recommend studying at ISSBS to anyone, and I would be happy to return to the school myself.

Founder of Cvet flower shop
I chose to study at ISSBS because I wanted to build on my many years of practical experience by learning about scientific and contemporary approaches to educational development. What I valued most was the way the programme connected theory with real challenges in a field I have worked in for many years.
I would recommend ISSBS to anyone who wants to gain high-quality knowledge, develop critical thinking and complement their career experience with a broader academic perspective. In my view, the greatest strengths of the Leadership and Quality in Education programme at ISSBS are its strong links between academia and professional practice, as well as the option to study remotely. Students can apply what they learn directly in their day-to-day work.
