Company Visits

Hult provides a practical business education that clearly demonstrates the gap between classroom theories and market realities. Regular visits to major global companies allow our students to see first-hand how international business works.

Hult Dubai hosts many company field trips that give students the opportunity to benefit from group mentoring with experts, develop skills through real-life challenges, and meet key industry players. Through unique field trips to leading UAE-based organizations, students have the opportunity to explore industry operations and brand values with senior executives. Each field trip includes a site visit, a presentation from the organization, and a moderated panel discussion. After each visit, students are given a short questionnaire which helps to highlight what they have learned from their trip. Recent visits include:
