CPUT is forging ahead with its resolve to produce graduates who can make meaningful contributions anywhere in the world.
During this semester the Faculty of Business and Management Sciences sent 12 deserving students to partner universities in Europe to gain a global perspective of their respective industries.
The students are in the Departments of Retail Business Management, Tourism Management, Management, Human Resource Management, and Accounting and Financial Information Systems.
Each department selected two students and they will be placed in the following universities:
- IPAG university in Nice, France
- Carinthia University of Applied Sciences in Austria
- Worms University of Applied Sciences in Germany
- Muenster University of Applied Sciences in Germany
- Ravensburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany
- Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Germany
The faculty receives approximately 60 exchange students per year who stay for a semester in the faculty.
In return, the faculty sends between eight and 12 students as well as up to six staff members per year to partner universities abroad.
Students participate in a three-month academic exchange programme which counts towards their studies while staff members guest lecture for two weeks and focus on collaboration with partner universities.
“Many of our students cannot afford a study abroad programme and the faculty sponsors their flights, arranges their accommodation and provides a basic subsistence allowance for the duration of the exchange,” says Nizaam Peck, the faculty’s Co-ordinator: International Exchanges.
