Blockchain Fundamentals (ON CAMPUS)
ESS 2019 was a great experience. Not only do you get to meet a of people from a lot of different places but you also come in touch with the exciting Czech culture. The courses provided are very interesting and the organisers are always helpful and welcoming.
Online Marketing Challenge
Working on a project with students from other countries was a great learning experience in terms of understanding the differences and similarities between the cultures and perspectives that are observed in different parts of the world. I wrote very interesting article about my European Summer School experience here.
Project Management: From Theory to Practice (Term 1. ON CAMPUS)
While searching for the course to take both for educative and entertaining, encountered the European Summer School (not knowing a lot about it, took the risk and applied). Never could believe it will be such interactive activities along with 5 hours long lessons. Happy to be part of this class and be one of participants of such a diverse group. The team was well-supportive in all matters! Highly recommend to apply!
