LIFE IN THE FOUNDATION PROGRAM: STUDENT STORY
JULIO CHEN, Portugal
Starting your journey at an international business school is a big step, and the Foundation Program is here to help you take it with confidence. Designed to prepare students from diverse backgrounds for success in higher education, this program builds essential academic skills, fosters personal growth, and connects you with a global community. But don’t just take our word for it—hear directly from students who’ve experienced the program and transformed their futures.
The Foundation Program at GBSB Global helps students prepare for higher education by teaching essential skills and providing the basic knowledge we need to succeed. I decided to join because I was impressed by the focus on global learning and the international community that makes studying here truly unique.
The learning environment is very supportive. The teachers are friendly, and the student community is incredibly diverse. One of the highlights for me has been meeting classmates from so many different countries—it’s inspiring and exciting to connect with people from all over the world!
Even though I haven’t finished the program yet, I can already see how much it has helped me. My study habits have improved, my confidence has grown, and I’ve gained a better understanding of business topics. My favorite module so far is English reading, writing, and grammar because I didn’t have much grammar instruction in my previous studies, and this class is helping me a lot.
Overall, this program is preparing me for the future and giving me the tools I need to succeed in higher education.
