ISB welcomes international exchange students to undertake two terms at the campus. This programme offers students new perspectives and a greater understanding of emerging economies.

Set amid 260 acres of green, the ISB has an excellent campus with top-notch residential facilities. You will be provided with serviced, air-conditioned and fully furnished apartments. They are equipped with a cable connection, voice and data ports for telephone, campus LAN and the Internet. It is suggested that you apply for a campus residence early because on-campus housing is limited. In case you are unable to get accommodation in the ISB campus, the exchange office will assist you in finding a suitable place close to the School.

Recreational facilities such as a swimming pool, gym and grounds for various games help you stay fit. Everything – from dining and laundry to housekeeping and banking – is taken care of so that you can focus on learning and making the best use of your time here.

Take a virtual tour to get a better feel of the campus facilities.

The Student Villages form the four cornerstones of the campus with a mix of four-bedroom apartments and studio apartments. These have been designed to foster academic and social activities amongst students. A common lounge has been provided to give you a meeting place where you can interact with other students. None of the apartments is more than a 10-minute walk from any building on campus.
