Content
During this course the students will discuss the impact on business life in the EU using different modes like the EU-Treaty and EU-Institutions, the Free Movement of Services, People, Goods and Money and of of course the Euro.
Besides this there is an intercultural side of this course. In the study abroad semester of the main phase, students focus on improvement of intercultural adaptability, by reflecting on the students’ behaviour towards cultural differences during the study abroad in the host country. At the end of the study abroad semester the student submits to his/her coach a reflection report. The exercises and the reports are designed to help the student reflect on his/her experience and to define a clearer learning strategy to achieve his/her professional goals.
The course contributes to the IBS strategic theme: Global Mindset
