In addition to that, the guests from Europe had the chance to train Muay Thai and cook Thai food. All this provided the Germans with an inside view of Thai culture.
The academic part of the Intercultural Management Summer School corresponded to the module ‘Business Management’ of the English taught Bachelor Programme International Management at FHWS. It reflected a complete module with 6 ECTS or three Thai graduate credits. The credits were fully transferable for Thai and FHWS students.
Besides the intercultural and academic part, students joined company visits and discussions with professionals. These experiences allowed students to transfer theory into practice.
As a special event, students had the chance to discover the famous Thai beaches on a field trip to the island Koh Samet. In Kho Samet, the students had enough time to recover from the lectures and experience the relaxed beach life.
