Offering insights into the everyday business life plays a crucial role in our curriculum. Guest lectures bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world business practices, and provide students with different perspectives on various topics. Guest lectures also introduce students to contemporary challenges and their solutions in the business realm. Or stated differently, our guest lectures enrich our students’ learning experience.

Several of these lectures are available to all University members, while others are exclusively for participants of specific courses. If you're keen on joining a particular guest lecture, kindly reach out to the event organizer.
