Recently, Wittenborg University awarded the first “Apeldoorn Campus” group of graduates their International Business Administration Bachelor degree, in an international ceremony held at the Business School in Apeldoorn. Wittenborg University moved into its new campus in July 2010. These students completed the Bachelor degree in International Business Administration, , with one graduate from Nepal also having completed the Postgraduate IBA programme.

The Bachelor graduates, from Thailand, Vietnam, China, Nepal, and the Ukraine enjoyed a formal ceremony attended by friends and relations, with a chance to reflect and socialize at the reception afterwards, on their achievements in the tough, English-taught IBA programme.

A number of the graduates are planning to remain in the Netherlands and have found employment within international companies under the skilled migrant employee regulation; however the majority of students will leave the Netherlands to continue their careers abroad.
