Why Book Our Business Summer Schools?

All our business summer schools are taught by highly experienced teachers – typically they are graduates in Business, Economics, or closely related fields, or have had extensive experience and success in business and entrepreneurship themselves. Some of our programmes also include opportunities for networking and mentoring with leading entrepreneurs. With 15-25 hours of academic instruction per week, students receive a tour-de-force education in the fundamentals of business.

There’s plenty of opportunity to put your theoretical study into practice on our business summer schools. Interactive workshops and both group and solo projects provide the chance to apply what you’ve learned. Whether it’s designing a business plan for an original company or delivering a product pitch, you’ll get lots of hands-on experience and put your skills to the test.

Immerse yourself in career of a successful entrepreneur. Q&A sessions and networking events with business leaders, or site visits to top start-ups, provide the chance for plenty of insider advice and guidance on developing your own career. And you’ll have ample opportunity to work on your own business ideas – from developing a business plan to pitching your ideas to a panel of venture capitalists in a ‘Dragon’s Den’ setting.

Our students always rave about the amazing programme of social activities we provide in the evenings. From quizzes to film nights or karaoke, our social programme is the perfect chance to relax after a day’s studying and develop lifelong friendships.

Each of our business summer schools offers a masterclass in vital business skills. In addition to business theory – from financial modelling to digital marketing – you’ll develop the competencies needed to make a great entrepreneur. Collaboration, leadership, planning, and innovation are all taught through a mix of interactive seminars, hands-on workshops, and challenging projects.
