Professional Visits

Interact with high-ranking European executives and officials of prominent international organizations

One of the most attractive features of Forum-Nexus programs is the emphasis placed on professional visits. Students get to visit leading European companies, like Louis Vuitton or Volkswagen, as well as the headquarters of such prominent international organizations as Unesco, the World Trade Organization, the United Nations and OECD. These visits constitute an excellent opportunity for networking, an opportunity not commonly available in other study abroad programs.
