Over a period of two weeks, students participated in a series of guest lectures, seminars and debates delivered by academics, policy-makers, diplomats and European civil servants. Read about Pawel&#8217;s experience in his blog post.<\/p>\n<p>My name is Pawel Sosgornik and I am studying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/courses\/undergraduate\/238\/business-and-management-with-a-year-in-industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business &amp; Management with a Year in Industry <\/a>at Kent Business School Medway. This year the University gave me a truly splendid opportunity by offering me a scholarship to take part in Brussels Summer School.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The curriculum and the great quality of teaching made the Brussels Summer School a truly exceptional opportunity.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I was interested in taking part because it was a good opportunity to improve my knowledge of MNE&#8217;s (Multinational Enterprises) and could support me in my application for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/kbs\/courses\/msc\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Master&#8217;s<\/a> programme. The Summer School provided knowledge about essential topics concerned with the role of the European Union, which is one of the most important political and economic organisations in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The curriculum and the great quality of teaching made the Brussels Summer School a truly exceptional opportunity. The topics covered helped us to understand current political dynamics in a really accessible way. We were taught about Brexit and the refugee crisis in a way that allowed us to develop our political views in an informed manner.<\/p>\n<p>The city of Brussels offers an incredible cultural experience, and all the students took advantage of this after our classes. Our accommodation was in walking distance from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/brussels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University of Kent campus in Brussels<\/a>, and all the participants of the Summer School were\u00a0given travel cards to be used for sightseeing purposes. From the very first day, I was exploring the old town and Brussels\u2019 world class museums and art galleries. It was a great cultural and intellectual experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Many thanks to Pawel for sharing his thoughts.
