History
IBS was originally began in 1987 as the Institute of Accounting and Business Studies to provide accounting students with a structured revision program leading up to their professional exams. It formally became the Institute of Business Studies in 1989 and quickly grew into a premium tertiary education provider. 

In 1994, IBS expanded its mission to offer certificate courses in Accounting and Business for school leavers who were rejected by the formal education system.

Partnerships with Australian universities

IBS achieved another milestone in 1999 when it began offering internationally recognised Australian degree programs in partnership with Southern Cross University Australia, first in Accounting and IT, and later in Marketing and Human Resource Development. 

This partnership has expanded and matured over the past twenty years with both face-to-face and online offerings. 

In 2003 IBS became the first education provider to offer an MBA program face-to-face in PNG in partnership with Deakin University, Australia.

Evolving into the thriving university we are today

IBS intentions to become a university began in 2005. The passion for learning and persistence to become a full-fledged university became a reality in December, 2016 with approval from the National Executive Council (NEC), later gazetted on January 25, 2017.
