Purpose and Activities of the Visit

HKMU students came to ICD Business School to participate in our first-ever summer program, aimed at offering them a complete immersion in French culture and local business practices. During their stay, they attended French language and culture classes, explored luxury brand management with our expert Amina Boumaza, PhD, and discovered entrepreneurship through sessions with Why Not Factory and meetings with experts from STATION F. Cultural visits, such as excursions to the Louvre and the Château de Chantilly, also enriched their experience.

Benefits for Visiting Students

ICD Business School provides visiting students with an ideal platform to broaden their academic and professional horizons. Through our network of industry partners, students were able to visit renowned companies like ACCOR and the Yannick Alleno group, gaining insight into French business practices firsthand. Our academic environment and support allowed them to acquire skills and create lasting memories.

Benefits for Our Students

This summer program was not only beneficial for HKMU students but also for our own students. Interaction with their international peers enriched their cultural understanding and enabled them to develop global networks. By participating in joint activities and sharing diverse experiences, our students gained open-mindedness and intercultural skills, essential assets in today's professional world.

Conclusion

In conclusion, ICD Business School is proud to have successfully inaugurated its first summer program in collaboration with Hong Kong Metropolitan University.
