PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITADEL

A Summer of International Business
2025 COURSE DESIGN - Accredited Course for The Citadel
One-to-One Tutorials: Each student is assigned to a tutor who will advise on the Capstone Exercise that each Cadet will present to the cohort at the end of the course. This is also an opportunity for Cadets from The Citadel to speak privately with their tutors about their career dreams and aspirations, and to also explore postgraduate work.
Seminars: Tutors will guide The Citadel cohort through themed discussions that reference key themes in international business including finance, management consulting best practices, global workforce management and culture, and entrepreneurship & venture capital.
Guest Lecturers & Discussions: In the late afternoon or early evening, we offer the opportunity for prominant scholars to share their research or a book with the class relevant to International Business. These tutorials are usually followed by dinner where the Guest Tutor is invited to dine with the students and further the discussions over a meal.
London Study Trip: The cohort will visit sites of academic interest such as Houses of Parliament, Lloyds of London, The Bank of England, and other key sites in the city.
Local Study Trips: We offer shorter trips to places such as Blenheim Palace (Winston Churchill's childhood home), the Cotswolds, Chedworth Roman Villa, and other sites.
Localised Tours: We offer optional daily tours of colleges where prominant people in history studied (Adam Smith, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Shelley, etc.). We will view Chaucer's original Canterbury Tales, and tour Christ Church College Hall and JRR Tolkien's Garden. There will be time to also visit the Ashmolean Museum (Britain's first public museum, the world's second university museum), the Pitt Rivers Museum, and other sites.
Baroque by Candlelight in Chapel: Performed by an Oxford-based musical ensemble (Chiavari Agreable), this is a magical experience we will ejoy one night after dinner, followed by drinks.
High Table Dinner: The cohort will experience a formal dining experience.
Activities: Our “Mentors” (student assistants) lead the cohort in a series of activities including Punting on the Isis, Croquet, Pub Quiz, Pub Crawls, Movie Nights, Oxford City-at-Night, Picnic in the University Parks, and more.
End of Course Celebration: After each participant has presented his or her Capstone Exercise to the cohort, we will gather to celebrate the end of the course, followed by dinner and drinks.
