In recent years, students went to the University of Leeds, the University of Ljubljana, ESSCA School of Management, Singapore Management University, Copenhagen Business School, University of British Columbia and Solbridge International School of Business to join the summer school courses taught by international academics as well as social and cultural activities to broaden their knowledge, minds, and experience.

Partner universities and final arrangements for summer courses are subject to continuous review and change. Depending on different factors, other arrangements may be made for students to complete the subject “International Experience”.

 

At the University of Ljubljana, I discovered a world of enriching academic experiences and stunning natural beauty. Engaging courses with global peers fostered intimate, interactive learning, while our charismatic professor brought a unique blend of humour and cultural depth to the classroom. Slovenia's breathtaking landscapes, from serene lakes to lush mountains, were the perfect weekend escape, offering a picturesque backdrop to our studies. This immersive journey is an invitation to anyone yearning for a study-abroad programme that transcends the classroom, blending knowledge, culture, and nature into an unforgettable experience.

The University of British Columbia is known for its research excellence, diverse academic programmes, and its stunning campus in Vancouver. The Vancouver Summer Program lets you experience a different culture and teaching style at the Sauder School of Business.

My courses in International Business and International Marketing were practical, and the teaching approach was distinct from Hong Kong. I enjoyed the polite, friendly, and relaxed North American lifestyle and made friends from all over the world.

I used my free time to visit the Columbia Icefield, Banff National Park, and Niagara Falls with friends. Canada's natural landscapes are magnificent.

I was incredibly fortunate to attend the summer school at the University of British Columbia. I took courses in International Business and International Marketing to broaden my understanding of global business strategies and market dynamics. Over the three weeks of the programme, the school organised insightful lectures, field trips, and a variety of evening activities.

In addition to the academic experience, my classmates and I also travelled to Calgary, Toronto, and Quebec. The scenery in these places was breathtakingly beautiful. This experience was truly invaluable, providing me with the opportunity to not only expand my knowledge but also to meet people from all over the world from diverse backgrounds.

Attending the Vancouver Summer Program (VSP) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) was a marvellous and unforgettable experience for me. During the programme, I got to know people from all over the world. Over the four weeks of studies at UBC, I joined many activities organised by the VSP volunteers. There are so many squirrels living on the UBC campus, so don’t forget to say hello when you see them on your way to class! Getting to know and experience so many cultural differences was even more rewarding than what I learned in class. Cultural differences are fun because they’re so new and hard to learn about just from the internet or books . You really need to experience them firsthand.

I was incredibly lucky to study at the summer school of the University of Ljubljana. I did Investment Management and Portfolio Management, and Managing Family Business to expand my knowledge of portfolio diversification and the trend of family business.

There were insightful lectures, field trip and activities held by the school in the evening over the three weeks of the course. My classmates and I also travelled around Europe, in Hungary, Croatia and Germany. That was a precious experience and great chance for me to get to know people from all over the world and different backgrounds.

Leeds is the third largest city in the UK with a perfect combination of modernity and history. Leeds International Summer School (LISS) offers the best opportunity to study and live together with students from all over the world, and to learn about other cultures and values. We had fun and took up challenges during a module that combined tuition with field trips and enabled us to understand more about British culture. We made new friends and share fond memories.
