Company visits program
Aimed at first-year Economics and Management bachelor students, the programme is designed to give students the opportunity to get to know industrial companies and their specific circumstances, both in terms of production processes and their internal organization and market strategy.
It is hoped that through direct observation students will begin to gather information that will enable them to give practical content to the theoretical knowledge they will acquire during their degree and thus understand how this knowledge can be applied to solving real problems.
At the same time, students have the opportunity to meet economic and management professionals and understand what their chosen profession is really like. The program also promotes networking between students and professionals in the sector, creating a space for future collaborations and internships.
