The department of Management (DiPSA) at the university of Bergamo promotes a range of short-term international learning opportunities to complement and enrich students’ academic journeys. These programmes offer immersive experiences, allowing participants to explore specialised topics, engage in intercultural dialogue, and strengthen their professional skills.
Since 2002 DiPSA has proudly hosted the Summer Business Program, a long-standing academic partnership with the University of Missouri - Columbia (USA).
Each year between mid-May and mid-June, second- and third-year students from DiPSA and the Department of Economics join peers from Missouri to attend intensive courses taught in English by faculty from both institutions. The programme covers topics in marketing, finance, and international business management, and takes place on the Bergamo campus (Via dei Caniana).
Participation is open, subject to available places, to students enrolled in undergraduate programmes in Business Administration or Economics and to Erasmus students hosted by DiPSA.

Through its collaboration with international partners and networks, the university of Bergamo regularly organises both summer and winter schools.
