MBA students’ Annual Study Week at the University of Sheffield

Classes, networking, fun in a pure British environment: and all of that during the MBA Annual Study Week at the University of Sheffield!
CITY College Executive MBA students from Thessaloniki, Belgrade and Bucharest visited the University of Sheffield in the UK for their scheduled Annual Study Week in June 2009.

The students escorted by Mr. George Efstathiadis, Director of the EXED and Dr. Leslie Szamosi, Academic Director of the Executive MBA, were warmly welcomed at the reception by the Pro Vice Chancellor of the University of Sheffield, Professor Paul White, the Dean of the Management School, Professor Glaister, Professor Lenny Koh and other members of the academic and administrative staff of the University of Sheffield. In his short speech Professor White addressed the MBA students with the following words: “Welcome to the University of Sheffield, your University.”

During their stay at Sheffield MBA participants attended the last module of the first year of their studies ‘Information Management’ led by Dr Kawalek, and participated in various activities and social events, organized on the occasion of their visit. At Sheffield also attended a very insightful seminar on ‘Negotiation Skills’ and a workshop on ‘Managing in Recession’. 

Moreover, the trip included a visit at the historic house of Chatsworth, one of Britain’s most famous houses and a popular touristic attraction.

CITY’s MBA participants had a great time at Sheffield, met their fellow Sheffield MBA students and had a great opportunity to network and share experiences. The trip exceeded their expectations and they were impressed by the University of Sheffield and got the most from their trip at the UK.
