Applications are now open for level 5 students to attend a GoGlobal: Spring School paid for by the Faculty of Business and Law
We value offering opportunities outside your standard programme of studies. We aim to provide an excellent student experience and ensure you build the transferable skills to succeed once you graduate from Manchester Met. This experience will be based in either Switzerland at The International Management Institute in Lucern or the Great Lakes Institute of Management in Chennai, India. We will send a group of students from the faculty, so you will travel and experience an international opportunity together. We will also be sending two staff members from the University with you. There will be shout outs in your lectures telling you more about the Spring Schools, which will include taught sessions, cultural visits, and industry visits.*
We have approximately 36 places to offer spread across the faculty. On each trip, we will evenly distribute places to the departments that are signed up for this experience, which will be awarded on merit. This opportunity is open to all level 5/ year two undergraduate students who are registered in November 2025, who are on a full programme with us (so not students visiting us for one or two semesters).
Travel dates:
TBA but on or around the following:
Switzerland Spring School – 3rd – 8th March 2026
India Spring School – 28th February – 7th March 2026
Note on costs:
Apart from a non-refundable deposit, we will cover the cost of the Spring School, return travel from the University and accommodation. You will be responsible for your food and drink and any social activities you organise yourself.
Requirements to apply:
