Students who demonstrate outstanding results and commitment are in the driving seat for these positions. To date our students have undertaken hundreds of internships all over the world.

Until now, we partnered with more than 50 educational institutions, organisations and companies domestic and international. Each of them has special opportunities that they offer and all of our scholars will be eligible to benefit from them. Gain access to a plethora of our partners and friends, with opportunities and insight to real world industry knowledge that will give you a cutting edge on the developing markets.

We organise student exchanges, professional visits, internships and major networking events that give our scholars a chance to see the world and bring home the knowledge.

Part of becoming a well rounded professional is your ability to understand the industry. We organise regular company visits, bridging the gap between your classroom experience and what happens in the real world. Our industry visits ensure that local industry and students better understand each other and how to recognise opportunities for mutual benefit.

We understand that our scholars can have financial challenges and hardship during their studies. We provide limited financial support for extreme cases of hardship (written evidence is required). Furthermore, we have scholarships on offer with partner organisations that financially support students during their studies. We teach our students how to earn rather than provide them with gifts, making sure they are ready for any future challenge.

Through our partnerships we offer our scholars opportunities to apply for financial scholarships within three IT companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina that provide them with financial support and practical experience.
