The first out of the series Certified in Management Summer Courses will be delivered at the Student Hotel Campus (TSH) in Eindhoven, The Netherlands The other three courses will take place at the Student Hotel Campus (TSH) “Marina” in the beautiful Mediterranean city of Barcelona, Spain.

Course aim

Course aim During the summer intensive courses of two weeks each you will touch on 4 important pillars of management – Cultural diversity (Eindhoven), Marketing (Barcelona), Entrepreneurship & Innovation (Barcelona) and Economics (Barcelona). You can choose how many of the 4 courses (3 ECTS each) you want to follow. Each course starts with four class days in which lectures and case discussions are used to introduce the main theoretical insights and to explore how these insights can inform managerial practice. In the second week of each course we extend the “lecture room” into the city: you may expect the final course assignments to require you to interact with businesses and/or entrepreneurs in Eindhoven. For each course, you will have to document your lessons learned in a paper. Successful completion of this program requires a substantial commitment.
