International Weeks

Would you like to walk the Great Wall of China, visit a Belgian brewery, relax on an exotic beach in Bali or perhaps experience Tokyo's intense big city? An international week can include anything from a trip to the Estonian countryside to partying at Amsterdam's coolest night clubs!

LundaEkonomerna receive invitations throughout the year from Business Schools and Universities around the world as part of the International Week network. The aim of the International Weeks is to meet students from different parts of the world to hang out, experience the host country and to exchange cultural experiences. These unique weeks are filled with various social activities and usually consist of company visits, sightseeing, visits to the University, dinners, parties and other exciting actvities.
