Generating a relevant learning experience – Carefully tailored goals, content, and methodology
The WHU Customized European Programs offer students and executives a high-quality and relevant learning experience, especially as program goals, content, and methodology are carefully tailored to the needs and curriculum of each individual partner school/business school. Credit transfer agreements ensure that students will earn credits for successful completion of a European Program.
The programs range from one-week workshops to seminars lasting several weeks. Longer programs include trips to other European countries, where participants can attend classes at our partner universities and visit relevant companies. The programs can also include visits to companies and/or EU institutions, such as the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, and cultural events, such as a trip to the historic town of Heidelberg, a castle tour, or wine tasting.
The goals of the Customized European Programs are both based on the curricula of the BBA, MBA and Executive MBA programs of the participating partner schools, and on the general requisites for conducting business in Europe. The entire customization process is based on the program goals, as specific goals make it easy to create relevant content and focus on the appropriate proven teaching methods.
The quality of our European Customized Programs stems from a combination of challenging academics and business relevance. The individual topics discussed in our programs range from a broad discussion of European political and economic developments, to specific business practices in Western and Eastern Europe. We also offer exclusive European-themed event packages and innovative incentive programs.
Our proven teaching methods will help foster students’ personal development, with our combination of classroom learning and practical experiences ensuring participants not only learn about modern European business management, but also acquire hands-on experience of successful business and management practices in the European marketplace. Our programs also ensure students have the opportunity to experience a variety of European cultures. This synthesis of intellectual and cultural learning goals is one of the factors that make WHU’s European Customized Programs so distinctive.
WHU faculty and leading European business managers work together to make our programs both challenging and relevant for the business world. The level of excellence WHU pursues in its Customized European Programs is reflected in the outstanding qualifications and experience of our instructors. While various faculty members will teach a range of different topics throughout each program, one of our faculty members is generally responsible for overall program academics.
