International study opportunities
Industry Studies in Asia
In addition to the formal exchange program, MBA students have the opportunity to participate in the subject Industry Studies in Asia – an elective subject that incorporates a field trip to Asia. Groups of students analyse and identify business opportunities within designated organisations and industries.
"This year's trip to Shanghai was extraordinarily successful. In addition to the usual meetings with industry and company representatives, this trip included a meeting with eight senior city officials who presented their vision for the city and its industry. The trip also included visits to a port on the Yangtze river, an electronics factory in the industrial area and a biochemical factory. The trip concluded with a dinner for MBS students, alumni from the region and local businesspeople who have helped us with the subject – a total of 98!
One student commented "It is unbelievable that I can go to Shanghai and be treated to dinner with classmates, alumni and prominent Chinese business people without any previous contacts or networks."
