Graduation variants

The Immersion Project is the meeting point of knowledge, skills and practice. Pursuing our 10-year tradition of the Field Study Projects, where students undertake a company-sponsored project in teams, the Immersion Project broadens the scope of this capstone and credit-awarding activity of our MBA. Through the immersion project, students significantly reinforce the learning- and career-enhancing outcomes of their studies. Students are the actors of forming their Immersion Project, and five different options are available: the Field Study Project (FSP), an International Internship, Entrepreneurial Project,CSR Action  and Personal Project
