Global Field Study Program

Traveling around the world in 80 days (like the Jules Verne's classic without the misadventures), students will be exposed to a broad horizon throughout continents as they conduct research on their chosen topics. When one strives to become a global leader, it is necessary to leave the comfort zone and to experience the world for a real understanding of how societies are built around the world.

Travel around America in 75 days

With 75 days in America, students can experience the political and economic dominance of North America, comparing the differences with the rapidly developing countries of South America. While both sides of the continents share diverse and multicultural societies, the strong cultural contrast will lead to pertinent research topics that stem from the historical developments of this continent.

Travel around Asia in 65 days

Students will spend 65 days exploring Asia, conducting research on political, economic, and social developments and issues. The recent decades of Asian economic boom have led to many conversations around 'The Asian Century' as Asian firms and nations have become a powerful force in the global market and international relations. With a better understanding of current developments and challenges that Asian countries are facing, students will become aware of obstacles and opportunities that await them in the Asian market, and how they could overcome and capitalize on them.
