Thematic Seminars - in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris or Turin

Take a deep dive into the major issues today’s leaders face with four thematic seminars. Two or three full days are dedicated to the seminar topic, each one has specific learning objectives.

Designing Europe

To immerse our students in the School’s European dimension, all first-year Master in Management students experience a three-day seminar at the European Parliament. During this seminar, students attend conferences given by experts on the issues surrounding the economic, institutional and cultural aspects of European policymaking. The students also take part in a negotiation role-play to increase their insight.

Digital Transformation

Digital transformation is having a profound impact on society, the economy, the workplace, as well as on the daily lives of individuals. This seminar improves your knowledge of information technologies and infrastructures and raises your awareness of the impacts of digital transformation (positive as well as negative).

Soft Skills for Leaders

Analyse the personality traits and behaviours that will help you to get hired and succeed in your work.

Business Strategy Simulation

This hands-on, 3-day seminar allows students to experience a computer-based business simulation that allows them to develop, implement and manage international business strategies of a simulated company.

Internships

Work placements in the form of internships or short employment contracts are an integral part of the Master in Management. They enable students to apply the theory learned in-class to real-life professional situations, helping in turn to clarify your career goals

"The apprenticeship track is a very enriching opportunity as it allows you to combine the best of two worlds: that of a student and of a working professional. It is also a great way to perfect your time management skills. It is definitely the best way to not only finance your studies but also to acquire professional experience that is highly valued by employers. My apprenticeship turned into a full-time position upon graduation! In fact, I am now in a full-time position at Siemens, where I started as an apprentice."
