Description

The seminar covers the following major areas: political and economic conditions for doing business in London and Europe, major international financial markets, and financial institutions in London and Europe. The seminar also concentrates on the integration of the European community and the financial, business, and political consequences of this integration on Europe, the United States, and the rest of the world.

The seminar consists of approximately 25 lecture and discussion sessions and visits to major financial and political institutions in London. Executives, economists, other officials from financial and governmental organizations, and business journalists present lectures on their areas of expertise, providing students with the unique experience of learning from "real world" practitioners.

The program's focus makes it appropriate for any advanced undergraduate or graduate student in finance, international business, economics, business journalism, political science, or international affairs, or practicing professionals interested in learning more about the business and political environment in Europe. The program is limited to 24 participants in order to make it a genuinely interactive seminar.

The seminar schedule consists of two or three 90-minute lecture-discussion sessions each class day. Program speakers make presentations of approximately 45 minutes to an hour, leaving substantial time for questions and discussion. Field trips are also planned each week.

Under the directorship of Professor Michael Palmer, leading authorities from London and Europe conduct the day to day seminar. The following speaker list, respective topics, and field trips from the previous programs indicate both the quality and timeliness of the program. Future programs will be substantially the same.
