Faculty-led programs

 

The crossroads of Europe

As the official seat of the European Parliament and a symbol of European unity, Strasbourg offers a unique setting. Its position at the heart of Europe—on the French-German border and at the crossroads of major political, economic, and cultural networks—makes it an ideal place to explore diverse business practices and navigate the complexities of international cooperation.


As part of the program in Strasbourg, students have the opportunity to take part in company visits and cultural excursions to neighboring countries such as Germany and Switzerland. These experiences offer valuable insight into different business environments and cultural perspectives, enhancing students’ ability to compare and adapt to diverse managerial contexts.
