Trips
In your final year, you’ll have the chance to participate in self-funded residential trips abroad, designed to enrich your study experience while being budget friendly.
Recent trips have included a field trip to the South of France, planned with student budgets in mind, yet packed with incredible learning opportunities. Over four days and three nights in Nice, plus a day trip to Monaco, students explored the world of international business.
The itinerary included a visit to IPAG Business School, a final-year research bootcamp, and industry visits to Grasse Perfumery and Allianz Riviera stadium. Students also explored Monte Carlo’s business and luxury sectors, with some even managing to talk their way into an exclusive VIP tour of the McLaren F1 Team’s pits – proof that confidence and networking go a long way in business!
These trips are more than just travel – they’re immersive learning experiences that expose you to global business environments, as well as creating lasting memories.
