BCA frequently organizes industry visits to companies, factories, ships, ports, hotels, restaurants, and other business premises, which are an integral part of the academic curriculum. Students are exposed to real working environments, giving them the opportunity to identify different business operations and practices, as each company has its own philosophy and corporate culture.
The tours are conducted by high-ranking executives of the companies and include information about the structure and operation of each company and discussion with students on many issues of theoretical and practical nature.
These experiences are analyzed in the classrooms through real “scenarios”, which help students enhance their critical thinking and decision-making skills.
Students, thus, broaden the image of the professional field they have chosen, make acquaintances and create a network, elements valuable for their future career. Many of our students have pursued their careers, as graduates, in companies they had visited during the industrial visits of their department.
These industrial visits are organized by all the departments and involve students of undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
