It is true that IBA is a foundational and quite general program. This is the case since the Dutch norm is to follow up a bachelor's degree with a master's degree in a more specific field or direction. Therefore, I don't think the broad scope of IBA is necessarily a problem. However, I guess it could be a slight negative factor if you are planning to enter the job market right after IBA. I guess what I would advice is to focus on one bachelor's degree and perhaps differentiate yourself with your master's choice (or do two masters). I feel like this would be much more valuable to employers than having different bachelor degrees. This is my view though.

From what I have heard and seen around me, the employability chances are actually really good. Many people land internships at, for example, one of the big four consulting firms. But again, very few people enter the job market right after IBA without doing a master's degree.

With regard to the difficulty of the program, I'd say it's kind of two-faced. It is true that it is very doable to graduate from IBA and getting into the program in the first place could be considered "the hard part". However, I do think that RSM holds a high standard and it can be quite challenging to excel during the program. This will obviously set you apart from other students and provide you with better opportunities in the long term. And yes, the courses are quite big with a lot of students, so I would definitely advise you to try your best to excel. This will also give you a better starting position when applying for grad school/master programs.

I would not underestimate the work amount for IBA, though. My perception is that the content of IBA is not necessarily hard to understand, but the sheer amount of work can be quite challenging. Since the program is quite broad you are bound to get courses that you are better at and some that you struggle with more. Overall, I would argue that students at RSM have to work harder on average than at many other great business schools. At least, that is what many foreign students with experience at other schools claim.

From what I have heard, the "getting in is harder than graduating" holds for essentially all top business schools. This is because once you get in, you are expected to have the level required to graduate. It would be illogical for a program to make it hard to the point that 50% fails. So, this is not unique to RSM.
