Our MBA students attending the Pan-European Executive MBA programme had the opportunity to enjoy an exciting Study Trip at the University of Strasbourg in France. The trip is an integral part of the Pan-European Executive MBA programme, a dual degree programme leading to two degrees, one from the University of York and one from the University of Strasbourg. Managers and business professionals from all eight cities where the programme is delivered (Thessaloniki, Belgrade, Bucharest, Sofia, Kyiv, Yerevan, Tbilisi and Baku) participated in the trip to attend joint classes. As always, the study trip comprised classes taught by academics from the University of Strasbourg, seminars, lots of networking, free time and exciting outings.
Dr. Claude Guittard, Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Management of the University of Strasbourg warmly welcomed our MBA students at the university. During the study trip MBA students attended the module ‘Open Collaboration Tools for European Business and Sustainability Society’ led by Dr Thierry Burger-Helmchen, Deputy Vice-President for Learning and Teaching at the University of Strasbourg and run by a team of 5 lecturers from the University of Strasbourg. The module included a computer simulation exercise besides a live case study.
In the context of the Study Trip, students also had the opportunity to visit the European Parliament and directly experience the work of European Parliament, its role, functions and purpose. Additionally, a company visit took place at ‘Steelcase’, a leading manufacturer of office furniture. MBA students were given a site tour at the company’s facilities where they attended a very interesting workshop.
