Focus on the topics that interest you. Because IBP is so interdisciplinary there is not much time to focus on specific topics. The professor will give you a basic understanding of topics such as crises, NGOs or price discrimination, but you won’t become an expert in them after 1-2 lectures. So, if something piques your interest- dig deeper! Who knows where it will lead you.
Become part of CBS community. Although the IBP social life is amazing, there is more to CBS than IBP! Joining a student society can help you meet interesting people from other programmes and develop your interests, whether they be connected to your study or not. I personally joined the debating society and met some of my best friends there while also learning an extremely useful and fun skill.
