Brock’s Goodman School of Business has become the first Canadian business school to partner with SolBridge International School of Business in South Korea.

Thanks to a formalized partnership with the business school, two undergraduate Goodman students per year can attend SolBridge on a semester-long exchange starting in September 2017.

A modern and innovative business school located just over an hour from Seoul in Deojeon, classes at SolBridge are all taught in English and focus on integrating both theory and practice.

Like Goodman, SolBridge holds accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB) and has a strong international outlook, making it an attractive place for Goodman students to choose as an exchange destination.

The School is also the 2016 winner of AACSB’s Innovations That Inspire award for its mentorship plan and programming around using debate to build students’ leadership skills and engagement.

This is the latest in a collection of 42 other business schools that the Goodman School of Business partners with, which allows accounting and business students to add international opportunities to their educational experience.

Students participating in exchange programs benefit from a world of knowledge, says Barry Wright, Goodman’s Interim Dean.

“Adding an international exchange to students’ portfolios will help them move outside of their comfort zones and this extension of their classroom experience is so important in today’s business world,” says Wright.

“Our students are increasingly recognizing international exchanges are a great way to differentiate themselves in the job market.”

Goodman students interested in going on exchange can apply online for Fall 2017 by Feb. 1, 2017 or for Winter 2018 by June 30, 2017.
