Other Activities (summer schools, etc)

Wroclaw School of Banking does not limit its international activities to the Erasmus Program.

WSB students have many opportunities for going abroad.

Student exchange with Ukraine
Wroclaw School of Banking has signed agreements with the National Mining University in Dnipropetrovsk. Ukrainian students come to participate in the Summer School of Entrepreneurship and several WSB students go to the Crimea to take part in the Leadership Summer School.
The cooperation with both schools also involves staff exchanges and the organization of joint conferences and seminars.

Economics Workshops in Germany
Wroclaw School of Banking in Cooperation with Ostsächsische Sparkasse Dresden, Friedrich Schiller Universität in Jena, Staatliche Studienakademie Bautzen, Fachhochschule Eberswalde and Agricola-Institut GmbH in Berlin organizes economics workshops in which WSB students are able to participate. This gives them a chance to get to know the German banking system, take part in workshops and lectures, learn about how banks operate in practice and improve their proficiency in business German.

The Visegrad Project
Wroclaw School of Banking organized the first “Discovering the Beauty of Central Europe” Summer School in 2007. During the workshops students from the Visegrad Group countries and the Ukraine together learned how to promote the tourist attractions of their countries and regions. Eventually they successfully created a website to promote Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Ukraine among students from other European countries.

Businet
Since December 2007 Wroclaw School of Banking has belonged to the international association of economic higher education institutions known as BUSINET – Network for the Development of Business Education Programs. Over 90 universities from 19 European countries participate in the project.
Within BUSINET program Wrocław School of Banking takes part in the project called BUSINESS WEEK which involves 12 universities from different European countries.
