    Experiencial Learning

    London Study Week

    During the London study week, students come to London for a week and study a core course. This is an optional week, which not only incorporates classroom learning, but also study tours to places like the Bank of England, Museum of Brands, etc. as well as guest speakers, and local excursions.

    International Study Tour

    Each year we take our students on an optional International Study tour, to experience work, business, and culture in a different country.

    For example our tour to Italy started in Rome, and through the week we traveled to various cities, learning about the history, culture and business. We visited Ferrari, saw how the olive oil, cheese and agriculture industry works, met with local business persons and visited a local university.

    ➜ We support students who need a vistor visa. Usually students who come to the London Study week / International Study Tour, find it easier to obtain a student visa at a later stage.

    Important Information

    This programme is aligned with UK undergraduate study at Levels 4–6.

    Students who complete Levels 4 and 5 may progress to study on campus with a partner university to complete their degree and receive a Bachelor's degree.
