Marking the end of classes, 26 Master of Science in Global Management students representing six nationalities from all over the globe participated in a series of seminars held at financial and European Union institutions.

A range of key meetings and talks were organised during a three-day visit to Brussels, the seat of the European Union and the headquarters of its decision-making institutions: the European Parliament, the Council of the EU, and the European Commission. On the agenda, an in-depth analysis of the history and functions of the EU with special focus on the actions implemented to promote security and welfare today. Inevitably, attention was on Brexit and the upcoming EU elections, with discussions scrutinizing their potential consequences on international trade and competition policy.$
