Annual MBA Study Week 2017 at the University of Sheffield

In June-July 2017 our Executive MBA students from Thessaloniki, Belgrade, Bucharest, Sofia, Kyiv and Yerevan visited the University of Sheffield in the UK for the Annual Study Week. Like every year the study week was a mix of classes, seminars, company visit activities, free time and exciting outings for the first year MBA students.

Escorted by Mr. George Efstathiadis, Director of EXED and MBA programme and Dr Leslie Szamosi, Academic Director of the MBA programme, the students were warmly welcomed in a reception that took place at the state-of-the-art premises of the Management School.

During their stay at Sheffield MBA participants attended the last module of the first year of their studies, ‘Developing Business Processes & Operations’ and also had classes for the online unit ‘Information Management’. Except for classes, students also participated in various activities and social events organised on the occasion of their visit. MBA participants had a great time at Sheffield and had the opportunity to network and share experiences with fellow MBA students.

Moreover all MBA students visited the Jaguar – Land Rover plant at Liverpool where the Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport are produced. During the company visit company representatives presented the corporate goals, strategies and achievements and also gave a tour presenting new production methods and tools used that were directly related to the unit ‘Operations and Process Management’ of the Executive MBA programme.
Also our students had a chance to visit the city of Liverpool and especially the Docks (port- sea side) area.

The structure of the Executive MBA programme includes the Annual Study Week, which takes place every year the University of Sheffield, enhancing the programme’s international character, providing a brilliant networking opportunity to students. The Annual Study Week in Sheffield is one of the programme’s key attributes during which MBA participants network, learn and have fun at the same time.
