Markets and Management in Europe (M+M)

One of our most popular programmes, “Markets and Management in Europe” explores themes such as intercultural management, marketing, and economics in order to investigate European business and its interaction with the rest of the world. To complement this multidisciplinary approach participants take part in a range of visits to institutions and an automobile company (e.g. Volkswagen in Wolfsburg) as well as completing a module on German culture & society from an intercultural perspective.
