ICSE is taught entirely in English and designed for bachelor students to acquire intercultural experiences, engage hands-on in practice projects, and sharpen their understanding of nordic and southern European business’ societal and ecological implications and ambitions. ICSE students become well balanced individuals capable of understanding the economic, societal, and environmental impact of their decisions and gain key skills that will integrate international agility with a firm grounding in the local context. Courses, workshops, and other training activities put a premium on problem solving skills, intercultural competence and extramural exposure to professional work environments.

Students from USI receive a scholarship to participate in ICSE and join students from Hanken School of Economics to study for one semester in Finland. All courses are recognized by both universities and customized according to USI’s bachelor degree.
