International Summer Programs
International Summer Programs allow you to travel and study internationally for a shorter time period (2-6 weeks). The courses are fast-tracked and relevant to current world challenges or trends. Many programs also include excursions to company headquarters, organized social and cultural activities such as weekend trips and sightseeing, and workshops that offer a huge range of topics. Goodman School of Business students can participate as exchange students (no tuition fees paid to partner school) in one of the following summer programs:
WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management
Stockholm University School of Business
Goodman Business students can apply for any of the above through the general on-line application for exchange programs and should apply by February 1st. All summer exchange students pay tuition to Brock and receive 1.0 credit for successful completion of one of these summer programs.
Attending the WHU summer institute has been the most valuable part of my MBA studies thus far. Having the opportunity to interact with students and professionals from across the globe strongly supported both my personal and professional development. The course is well organized and provides the perfect mix of culture, academics and fun! Lecturers focused on the nature of business functions from a European perspective. Each lecturer was extremely passionate about their work and was able to convey a great deal of information in a relatively short period of time. Following each lecture session, teams of students were able to solve assigned cases and present on them in class. The company site visits were all excellent. My favourite part of the trip was our visit to the European Central Bank where we were able to discuss many of the issues of the current financial crisis with key economic advisors at the ECB. Throughout the two weeks you form strong relationships which makes the Summer Institute a great way to develop your professional network while making some great friends. I would recommend this to any student considering international studies that may not be able to spend a whole semester abroad. After experiencing the thrill of international studies I can’t wait to for my next opportunity.
