About

Message from the Management

Our mission is not simply restricted to teaching, but to developing personalities that will be ready to meet the challenges both present and future. People who have Ideas, have their own opinion and most of all have a bright future.

The impressive number of those who have placed their trust in us for half century, burdens ICBS with the responsibility to meeting their expectations.

We have been entrusted not only by the families of our students, but also by organisations and businesses. The latter either offer scholarships, as they consider this the best kind of investment they can ever hope to make, or at a later date go on to recruit our graduates, in order to satisfy their human resource requirements.

We would further like to assure our future students of the fact that they will in turn feel as others before them. In other words, that they have chosen the most distinguished and prestigious education organisation (Business College) in Greece, operating under international standards, internationally recognised and certified.

The ICBS Business College offers the most convenient city campus, with modern, purpose-built, facilities, exemplifying specialised and highly qualified academic staff, with care for the individual and benefiting from the latest in technological innovations, guaranteed by the British public university, University of Winchester.

From the first moment ICBS Business College Philosophy was based on a framework of Principles and Values, that define the “Responsible Management Education”, holding also the International PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education).
