Let’s be honest – studying business today isn’t what it used to be.
The world is changing fast. You’re not just preparing for a job. You’re building a future in a world that demands flexibility, creativity, and a whole new kind of leadership. And if you’re the kind of person who dreams big, asks questions, and wants to build something meaningful – you’re already ahead of the game.
The International Business Management & Entrepreneurship (IBM&E) program at UNTRIM International is designed for future leaders like you. Students who want to make a difference – not just make a living.
Why Study International Business in Bali?
Bali isn’t just a dream destination. It’s also one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing innovation hubs. Entrepreneurs, digital nomads, designers, and changemakers from all over the world come here to live, connect, and start purpose-driven ventures.
As an IBM&E student, you’ll be immersed in this ecosystem-working on real-world projects, networking with mentors, and learning how global business works in real life. We call it:
“Study global, act local.”
That means you’re not just reading about sustainable business – you’re surrounded by it. You’re not just learning communication – you’re working in multicultural teams from Indonesia, Vietnam, Europe, and beyond. And you’re not stuck in theory – you’re out there solving problems.

What Makes the IBM&E Program Stand Out?
Here’s what makes this program truly different from a traditional degree:
🚀 Entrepreneurship & Innovation
From day one, you’ll think like a founder. Whether you want to launch your own startup or lead innovation inside a company, we’ll equip you with the mindset, tools, and confidence to do it.
🌱 Green Business & Blue Economy
You’ll learn how sustainability, regenerative business, and circular economy models are shaping the future of work – and how to lead ethically within them.
🤝 Problem-Based Learning (PBL) & Design Thinking
Say goodbye to boring lectures. This is hands-on, collaborative, and deeply engaging. You’ll work in teams to tackle real industry challenges using creative frameworks.

🤖 Industry 4.0 Ready
Understand how digital transformation, automation, and data are changing the way global business works – and how you can lead in it.
💼 Internships That Put You Ahead
During your studies, you’ll pursue an internship that fits your personal career goals – whether in Bali, Jakarta, Singapore, or beyond. While you’re expected to find your own internship, the university offers full support: from coaching to networking, mentorship, and guidance.
This way, you choose exactly the experience you want – tailored to your passion and industry.
🧘 Mindfulness & Personal Leadership
At UNTRIM, we don’t just teach business. We teach human leadership. You’ll explore mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and what it means to lead with clarity and compassion.
Specializations: Build a Degree That Fits You
The IBM&E program gives you room to explore and go deep into what matters to you. Through our minor specializations, you can tailor your path toward the industries you’re most passionate about:
- Green Business & Sustainability
- Creative Industries
- Social Entrepreneurship
- Digital Marketing & Innovation
- Tourism & Hospitality Management
- Finance & Business Analytics
Each minor includes practical case studies, industry collaboration, and guest lecturers from the field. It’s not “school” in the traditional sense – it’s more like a career lab.
Why Entrepreneurship (Still) Matters - and Why the World Needs You
Let’s take a step back.
Why entrepreneurship? Why leadership? Why now?
Because the world’s biggest challenges – from climate change to inequality to digital disruption – need more than traditional business solutions. They need innovators, bridge builders, and ethical changemakers who can lead with vision and action.
In fact, over 60% of the world’s billionaires built their wealth through entrepreneurship. But more importantly, thousands of impact-driven business leaders are solving real-world problems daily – creating jobs, designing sustainable products, and bringing technology to communities that need it most.
Entrepreneurship today isn’t just about starting a company. It’s about thinking differently.
- It’s about creating value – for people, for the planet, for the future.
- It’s about knowing how to spot opportunities and turn ideas into action.
- It’s about leading others in uncertain times – and staying grounded while doing it.
With tools like design thinking, creative problem-solving, and agile collaboration, our students don’t just learn how to build businesses. They learn how to build solutions that matter.
Whether your dream is to open a regenerative fashion brand, scale a fintech startup, or lead innovation at a global NGO – entrepreneurial thinking is your ticket forward.
The Future Is Glocal (and That’s Where You Thrive)
As business becomes more interconnected, leaders need more than just technical knowledge. They need a “glocal” mindset – able to operate globally while deeply understanding local cultures and needs.
That’s exactly what the IBM&E program nurtures.
Our students graduate ready to:
- Collaborate across cultures
- Lead sustainable transformation
- Communicate with impact
- Navigate future careers across industries and borders
And they do it with clarity, confidence, and a sense of purpose.
Because in a world where AI, climate change, and fast-changing markets are rewriting the rules – we need more mindful leaders. The kind UNTRIM helps develop.
