Research Groups
The Business School research groups comprise students volunteering to participate in the different research projects undertaken by Mediterranean College. Usually these are working groups that, under the supervision of their tutors, work on data collection and quantitative and statistical analysis. The results of these projects are either incorporated into the College’s Research Centre or are published in conferences or in the mass media.
Internships
Internships are an integral part in the learning process for Business School students, offering different experiences and direct access to employment. Despite the fact that the Business programmes do not require compulsory work placement, students are encouraged to seek such opportunities and put in practice what they have learned in class, through the internship places made available by the College’s Career office.
