Programme Intakes and Topics

Wittenborg's Summer School has two intakes, each dedicated to different topics. Programme 1, running from 14 July to 26 July 2024, will focus on Intercultural Communications & Leadership, offering valuable insights into effective communication strategies and global leadership techniques.  

Programme 2, from 28 July to 9 August 2024, will shift the spotlight to Marketing & Personal Branding, exploring digital marketing trends and strategies.  

Both programmes feature classes held Monday to Friday, from 9:00 to 14:00, with coffee and lunch breaks to allow for networking and socialising.  

"The programmes are beneficial for those considering studying these subjects or exploring the country," adds Iryna Bernatska. "Social and cultural activities may include a visit to Palace Het LooCoda Museum, a countryside steam train trip or a charity cooking event at Maria's Church in Apeldoorn." 

Student Spotlight

In 2023, Upinderjeet Kaur, a student from Apeldoorn currently pursuing a degree in HBA (Hospitality Business Administration) at Wittenborg, joined the programme to interact with people from countries all over the world. "I’m studying Tourism at Wittenborg and this was a great opportunity for me to interact with more people," Kaur shares. "The programme also seemed very fun and interesting."

Kaur's experience wasn't just about learning, however, it was also about personal growth. "I improved my communication skills greatly. I participated in different workshops which expanded my knowledge in different areas such as history, presentation skills, creative arts and designs," she reflects.

Kaur says that her favourite part of the entire Summer School experience was getting to know the fellow participants and the trip to Paleis Het Loo. "I definitely recommend the programme to other students. It is a mix of knowledge and fun."
