I attended the Foundations of International Business course in the summer of 2019 at VU Amsterdam. We learnt about the challenges of doing business abroad, how culture influences business, how to identify countries for foreign expansion and the different strategies a company can use when internationalizing. Our professor was highly knowledgeable about these topics and very approachable. The classes were interesting and very interactive. The class discussions we had surrounding various business topics were very enlightening.
Being part of the VU Amsterdam summer school was an experience of a lifetime. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. Exploring Amsterdam and the surrounding towns with fellow students in this truly wonderful city was great fun!
I chose to stay at De Boelelaan which was one of the university accommodation options. Its proximity to the university was perfect. My room was spacious and the kitchen we had access to made residing there easy. The cafeteria on campus is amazing and the food is well priced. I feel very blessed to have been able to attend this summer school. I learnt a great deal and made friends and memories that will last a lifetime.
If you have any questions about the program you are welcome to send me an email via robster.searle@gmail.com.
