About our Courses:

Classes for our upcoming programs are thought-provoking, interesting and fun.  We expect students to be open minded, engaged and eager to learn about other countries and cultures. In-class instruction is enhanced with an out-of-class experience that includes escorted visits to economic organizations and leading international companies. Our courses are designed to offer students a deep insight into the European  economy, society, political situation and culture.  

​Classes are taught in English on-campus (and while traveling) by a faculty of multi-national and cosmopolitan professors.   

Students: 
All majors are welcome! (international relations, economics, cultural studies, languages, political science, history, business and more). UNDERGRADUATE or GRADUATE level students are welcome to apply.

Number of Courses:

Psychology focus:  

• Suggested course:  COM 320 "Cross Cultural Communications": This course will look at one of the key issues in modern Psychology: that of cultural identity.
