Dina Tzagadouris

Deakin University

"An amazing programme which helped me build the skills required to understand and do business in Europe from both a local and international perspective. I learned from some of the best professors in the field and made new and lasting friendships with students around the world."

Abbie Gellatly

Queensland University of Technology

Australia

"From the initial application to the final exam it was extremely well organised and the professor as well as administrators made communication very easy. The units covered were extremely interesting and every single one of the professors were engaging and I gained valuable insight on a whole range of topics that I had not previously had exposure to. This programme has clearly been designed to utilised online technologies and the consideration of time differences was very much appreciated. The assignments and break-out rooms were structured in a way that encouraged knowledge application and made you think outside of the box."

Laura Middleton

Macquarie University

Australia

"It may not have been the original plan for how I wanted my exchange experience to go, but I am so glad that I could virtually participate in this great program. Thank you to the teams at Maccquarie University and WHU for facilitating this opportunity and successfully adapting the program to an online model. A key takeaway from the program was the friendships I was still able to develop and the opportunity to listen to a new speaker each day as they spoke on a topic that they were highly qualified and kowledgeable in. I look forward to hopefully being able to visit Germany in the future and utilise my new understanding and knowledge of how business is conducted in Europe."

Rebecca Goodsell

Curtin University

Australia

"I recently participated in the WHU European Summer Program and it’s was fantastic. We were able to learn from a different teacher and professor each day about a different topic, and it was all well structured and easy to follow. Being able to learn about Business in Europe from my own home in Australia was both efficient and fun! I highly recommend the program to anyone thinking of participating."

Olivia Blakey

The University of Waikato

New Zealand

"I thoroughly enjoyed WHU's program and would 100% recommend it! I gained valuable insights and knowledge into how businesses operate in Europe and found all the professors to be excellent with great resources! I feel as though I have completed this program with a variety of new skills that I can utilise when I travel to Europe later this year. Even if you don't major in international business, this program may still be a perfect opportunity for you to broaden your knowledge of the major business subjects in an international context. Everything in this program is well organised; timezones are considered, and the breakout rooms give you time to share your thoughts and learn from other students across the world."
