Study Abroad

Globally Focused

Through programs both inside the classroom and out, students in UE's Schroeder School of Business have the opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of how business works on an international level.

UE students have the unparalleled opportunity to spend a semester pursuing the extraordinary at Harlaxton, the University’s very own Victorian manor in Grantham, England. Whether it’s in the fall, spring, or summer semester, students take both general education and major-specific courses through the week while exploring European culture on the weekends. No extra tuition is involved, and students stay on track toward graduation.

Because UE owns the Manor, students have the added comfort of studying and living alongside familiar faces, which sometimes includes Schroeder faculty!

By studying abroad, Schroeder students are exposed to a deeper understanding of global business that cannot be replicated in the classroom. The semester also provides unforgettable memories and personal growth through new experiences, exploring other cultures, and navigating travel in other countries.

“While at Harlaxton, I took my Intro to Marketing, Intro to Managerial Accounting, and Contemporary European Business. These classes were truly unique. While taking the Accounting class, the Manor’s accountant visited us and discussed how the Manor operates. From there, our class created a ChangeLab to find ways to allocate and reduce the Manor’s costs. In the European Business course, we had weekly discussion about our travels throughout the continent and compared them to what we were used to back home.” Crispin Ewen ’24

Summer Study Abroad

Each summer, the Schroeder School offers a short-term Business course at Harlaxton. Students have the opportunity to pursue this short-term option and travel with Business peers and faculty. The course, Contemporary European Business Issues, examines the economic, political, and cultural factors that impact the current business environment in the UK.

In addition to taking the course at the Manor, the program includes visits to local companies like Triumph Motorcycles, Wedgwood Factory, and Chocolatarium. Cultural visits include Cambridge Kings College, Rugby Stadium, Leicester, Edinburgh Castle, Houses of Parliament, and more.
