About International Student Projects

Our International Student Projects Insight China, Focus India, connectUS, and exploreASEAN are flagship initiatives within the FHNW School of Business, organized by teams of students for delegations of students in their final year, all of whom are eager to learn and perform in international business.

The project teams work under supervision of a FHNW lecturer. Designed to create a unique and vibrant platform for networking opportunities, these projects allow specially recruited students to gain unique business culture experiences, explore contemporary business concepts, and access valuable opportunities.

Each initiative includes two major segments: a preparatory seminar held in Switzerland followed by a study-trip abroad. These seminars provide exclusive insights into the target country or regions, examining their business landscape along with cultural, political, socio-economic and demographic challenges.
