Overview
GSM is a challenge-based and experiential programme developed and taught by top European academics.
While it is organized into traditional semesters, all activities inside and outside of the classroom are interlinked into a seamless learning experience. The journey goes beyond attending a series of courses: it involves bootcamps, team building workshops, immersive learning, simulations and project labs.
As a jointly developed and taught programme, we offer all students the same chances to engage in the programme’s wide range of activities and learning opportunities despite the different starting points of your GSM student journey.
What does that mean for you?
It doesn’t matter if you begin your GSM experience in the Spring-Summer or in Fall-Winter Semester.
The structure and sequence of the GSM courses is always the same: regardless of your master programme or home university, as a GSM student you will have access to the same opportunities all year round.
