History, donors and partners
International Business College Mitrovica (IBC-M) was founded in March 2010 as an internationally registered not-for-profit foundation operated under the auspices of the Dutch non-governmental organization SPARK.

It was established with donations from:


 * Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA)
 * Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs
 * Dutch Ministry for Development Cooperation
 * UK Government Department for International Development (DFID)
 * Swiss Confederation
 * European Union Office in Kosovo

Scholarships for minority groups and for women were also initially provided by the German Embassy in Pristina.

IBC-M developed three high-quality English-language academic programmes in partnership with higher education institutions in Denmark: Lillebaelt Academy of Professional Higher Education, Tietgen Business College, and University College Lillebaelt. The study programmes were adapted to the local context and staff and teachers received intensive training. The curriculum development stage of the partnership was completed in 2014, after several years of intense information and skills exchange. The programmes have now been fully handed over to IBCM.

The partnership with the Danish institutions is now operating on a maintenance level, with key Danish teachers continuing to implement quality oversight of IBCM’s assessment and examinations process. By maintaining this agreement, IBCM students receive double degrees upon successful completion of their study programme. This means that they gain a diploma from both IBCM and from the relevant partner college in Denmark

IBCM has been accredited by German Accreditation agency EVALAG since 2013.
