Winter Europe MBA Seminar

Gain international business and cultural experience in this 10-day program exploring two countries, diverse cultures, and global business practices.

Program Overview

Dates: December 31, 2026 – January 10, 2027.

Locations: London, UK and Paris, France. Visit 2 countries in 10 days. This program caters to the unique academic rigors and time constraints a graduate level student faces when considering study abroad.

If a shortage of time or lack of academically rigorous program options are limiting your ability to study abroad, then consider attending the Global Learning Opportunities Winter Europe MBA study abroad program. With visits to companies operating in both London and Paris, you will learn first-hand about the strategies, structures, and challenges of multi-national and domestic European businesses. Experience the Venture Capital Workshop in collaboration with Guinness Ventures — an interactive session where you’ll step into the world of start-ups and investors, learn how real funding decisions are made, and pitch your own business ideas in a hands-on simulation led by industry experts. A wealth of cultural activities such as city tours and visits to landmarks are included in this program to build your familiarity with your destinations. Additionally, enjoy free time to explore on your own.
