Business Studies School Trips

Business studies school trips abroad

Your business studies trip abroad could include visits to large organisations and institutions, like the stock exchanges in Barcelona, Frankfurt and New York, as well as busy newspapers, TV towers, glass manufacturers and even diamond factories.

A business studies school trip to Frankfurt or New York would see your students explore one of the world’s most important financial centres, where they can learn about how and why these cities have become so important in terms of the global economy.

You could visit Disneyland® Paris to discover the marketing behind the magic, or head to the other side of the world to see how Japan has become a world leader in innovation and technology.

Or why not head to Prague, where you can discover how the country’s economy has boomed since the fall of communism? In fact, the Czech Republic has been described as one of Europe’s most flourishing economies, with the lowest unemployment rate in the EU, making this a great destination in which to explore the important links between politics and economics.

There are some fantastic educational activities for you and your group to enjoy that will give your students the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of business models and practices, the power of marketing and the essentials of finance and people management.

Experiencing this first-hand will not only help your students to better understand the theory taught in the classroom, it will also provide them with tangible experiences that they’ll be able to recall during exams.

All our business studies trips are tailor made to complement the national curriculum and to encourage your students to learn in dynamic and stimulating learning environments, outside of the classroom.

Why arrange a business studies school trip?

Explore important financial centres

You’ll be able to choose from a great range of destinations for your business studies school trip, including some of the world’s most important financial centres, such as Frankfurt, New York and Tokyo.

Frankfurt is home to both the European Central Bank and the Deutsche Bundesbank and is considered the financial capital of the Eurozone. As such, it should be no surprise that so many of the world’s top companies have their European headquarters based in the city. It is also home to one of the world’s largest stock exchanges, which you can visit on your business studies school trip to Frankfurt.

New York is considered the finance capital of the world and is home to Wall Street. Many Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies have based themselves in the city, as have many of the world’s biggest banks, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan. Anyone who’s anyone in the world of big business has some kind of presence in New York and your students will love exploring this on a business studies school trip to New York.

Or head to Tokyo, the capital of the world’s third-largest economy and another important financial centre. Many of the world’s largest investment banks are based in the city. A highlight of your business studies school trip to Japan will be the Tokyo Stock Exhange, where your students will take part in a game where they can simulate trading stocks for themselves!

Learn more about brands
