Og Mandiono has said: “Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.”
This year from October 16th to October 20th students of BA School of Business and Finance will have a great opportunity to learn more and ask relevant questions by participating in International Guest Lecturer week at BA School of Business and Finance (BASBF). During the week 8 Guest lecturers from our partner-schools in Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Sweden and Estonia will hold lectures for students of BASBF.
BASBF hosts International Guest lecturer week for the 15th consecutive year. It is an excellent opportunity for students to acquire knowledge and up-to-date information in their study sector, which is an important prerequisite for the development of professional competences and skills at international level. Lectures by guest speakers are planned in accordance to the subjects of study programmes offered by BASBF (as far as it was possible).
At the same time, in addition to the planned lessons, we invite any BA School of Business and Finance student to attend other guest lectures of interest.
