11 8 Testimonials Are you sure this is summer?, quipped my fellow classmate Dickson as we stepped out of Frankfurt Airport to catch a train to Wiesbaden. The low temperature and non-stop drizzle were something we were not prepared for. But this did not affect us at all once the program started. The local professors were very engaging and had immense in-depth knowledge of their topics that really opened our eyes. To top it off, the greatly diverse global student group chipped in their own unique insights and perspectives as well. The field trips to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, European Central bank and Audi Manufacturing Plant were so enriching that they certainly beat reading any articles or news. But it was not entirely work. Besides gathering together in the evenings and chatting over really nice cold German beer at our favourite town pub, we set off to explore different parts of Germany and various countries in Europe during the weekends. The friendship between the students blossomed as the days went by and there was never a dull moment for the whole three weeks. Before we realized it, it was the end of the whole program. We had to bid farewell to each other, continuing our life journey with the great memories and knowledge we had gained. Like they say in Germany, Auf Wiedersehen! James Ng, University of Adelaide Enrolling in the summer business elective at EBS was one of the best decisions I made throughout my educational career. I am fortunate to have been instructed by such dynamic professors, who consistently foster a learning environment of cohesion and creativity. I would highly recommend EBS to any student interested in expanding his cultural horizons while mastering the skills necessary for success in the European business climate. Ashley Miller, Arizona State University I found the time at EBS Business School gave me an excellent insight into doing business in Europe. It also enabled me to learn from different experiences and cultures and to establish an international network of professionals. The facilities and the administrative support were exceptional. I highly recommend the EBS Business Summer for inclusion into anyone s MBA. Naomi Smith, University of Adelaide
