It is early February and the beginning of Study Block 2 of ESB’s MSc Global Management and Digital Competencies (MGM). This year’s cohort of 18 students hail from Germany, France, Italy, India and Mexico. Having spent their first Study Block at our IPBS partner schools in Canada (Brock University), France (NEOMA Business School), Ireland (Dublin City University) and Italy (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), they are ready to complete the German part of the programme. During their first week they took part in orientation activities including a trip to Porsche in Stuttgart, a day long workshop on Digital Business Ethics, exploring the sights and tastes of Reutlingen and, of course, getting up to speed on all of the practical things like how to access the campus facilities. We wish our new students all the best for their time at the ESB.
