Our latest "experiential learning" stories

Our MSc in Luxury Management students are currently on the ground in Italy for their annual experiential study trip, an immersive week designed to take them out of the classroom and into the heart of the global luxury industry. This journey across Italy’s primary luxury hubs, including Genova, Venice, Milan, and Viareggio, provides a firsthand look at the professional world they are preparing to join.

The City of London welcomed students from the master’s in finance for a two-day discovery of the industry! 

Bridging the gap between ‘traditional’ teaching methodologies and the application of industry knowledge in the classroom not only enhances the curriculum but can help students understand the link between theory and practice and better prepare them for the future.

At IUM, students can apply their academic learning outside of their day-to-day learning environment in a real business context. The experiential learning approach characterizes the entire curriculum, emphasizing applications, real-world examples, and case studies. This approach offers students the opportunity to work on concrete, topical challenges given to them by companies and be actively involved with relevant company executives in strategic decision-making and recommendations, usually during business competitions, internships, team-based projects, study trips organized within the program.
