ESMT Offers MBA Students Two-Month German Course: Intensive language course

ESMT is giving its future students the chance to improve their German language skills courses at every level. For students enrolling at ESMT by the end of July 2011, ESMT will cover the tuition costs. For those who decide to come to ESMT after this date, the program will be offered at a discount.

Because of its strong economic growth Germany has become a highly attractive market for successful MBA alumni. The language courses are part of the support ESMT offers its students to find a job in Germany. Sixty per cent of the ESMT alumni already work in Germany after graduation. Nick Barniville, Director of MBA Programs, commented, “Thanks to the close relationship with our founding companies we know that German language skills are still highly important to find employment in Germany. We are glad that we were able to win the renowned Goethe Institute Berlin as partner for our students’ top level education.”

The intensive 8-week-training begins in mid-October and ends in mid-December, two weeks before the start of the MBA program. The future MBA students therefore have the chance to get to know Berlin before the beginning of their studies. The program also offers the opportunity to rent a room from German hosts and have direct contact with the German language and culture. The courses go half a day every weekday, and the students receive a certificate upon the successful completion of the course.

During the MBA program, ESMT continues to offer students weekly German lessons on campus; they can also take advantage of further Goethe courses at discounted rates after graduation.

Colt Foundation Fellowships in Occupational/Environmental Health 2011, UK

The Foundation awards Fellowships each year to persons who are qualified in science or medicine who are carrying out research within the area of occupational and environmental health at a UK university. The Fellowship is normally for three years and the research is expected to lead to a PhD degree. Prospective students should apply to Mrs Jackie Douglas, address below, and should include an outline of the proposed research which demonstrates the occupational content of their work, a CV, a detailed letter of support from the proposed supervisor and the contact details of two referees. The application must be submitted by the student personally and not by their supervisor on their behalf, although it is expected that the supervisor will have an input to ensure that the project can lead to a successful PhD. Fellowships are awarded in competition, and the outline must therefore contain sufficient detail to enable the Selection Panel to determine that the work has been well-designed, the work is worthwhile and can be completed in the three-year period, and to enable the Panel to decide which students should be interviewed. The stipend rate for the first year is £12,000 (£13,000 inside London), rising with inflation for the following two years. UK fees will be paid as incurred, together with a sum to cover research expenses. The grant does not attraction any taxation.
