We are pleased to open up an application process for you to nominate yourself to attend a GoGlobal: Summer School, which will be 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 Metropolitan. This experience will be based in either Switzerland at The International Management Institute in Lucern, the S. P. Jain Institute of Management & Research in Mumbai, the CETT University in Barcelona or The British University Vietnam in Hanoi (2 week trip). 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).
Note on costs: Apart from a non-refundable deposit, we will cover the cost of the Summer School, return travel from Manchester Airport and accommodation. You will be responsible for your food and drink and any social activities you organise yourself. The Hanoi trip cost is £200 and all others are £100

There will be shoutouts in your lectures telling you more about the summer schools, which will include taught sessions, cultural visits, and industry visits.*
