DI students visit Berlin as part of academic exchange

Within the framework of completing study plans and reinforcing academic exchange between the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies (DI) and the European School of Management and Technology (ESMT) in Berlin, the third cohort of EMBA/EMPA Dual Degree students started their scientific trip to the German capital recently.
The trip is co-ordinated with DI's partners at ESMT, and conducted in accordance with the study plan of the programme that aims to support academic knowledge with rich realistic experiences at the scientific, professional and administrative levels through attending lectures delivered by professors at the European Institute in Berlin.
The visit provides the students with a unique opportunity to expand their horizons and learn about the success stories of small and medium-sized German enterprises, a press statement noted.
The Dual Degree Executive Programme is designed through a partnership between DI and ESMT in order to provide a comprehensive educational platform for Qatari students who are leaders in government and private institutions.
The Dual Degree programme combines theoretical knowledge and real practice in both fields as it aims to enable students to interact with the most important international institutes and institutions in the field of business administration and public administration, to enhance their understanding of the latest trends and concepts available, and to integrate this knowledge in the governmental and private institutions to which they belong.
During their visit to ESMT in Berlin, the students made use of a series of activities and lectures given by experts and experienced academics who have extensive experience in administration and management. The lectures have covered a variety of topics, such as creative management, entrepreneurship, finance management and corporate finance. The students will also visit companies from the public and private sectors to be introduced to the different management systems which will develop their analytical and leadership skills and promote their strategic thinking capabilities.
Dr Tamer Qarmout, head of the Public Administration Programme, emphasised the importance of this visit in improving the students’ managerial skills and opening their prospects for the successful practices of German organisations and their philosophy in business.
