Preparation
Management and Leadership course is my interest. It gained my interest when they announced the BIP programme about it. Prof.Lachmann encouraged the students to take part in the BIP. Also, Tina Kaffl from the International Office was of much support.
As this was my first BIP, Tina was so helpful in answering my concerns and queries.
Accommodation
Donata from the SMK university in Lithuania sent us the link to book accommodation in the city with many options.
Study at the Host University
The plan was well organised. In the first 2 days, Prof. Kristina took us through Leadership qualities. Day 3 and 4, Prof. Sandra took us through Leadership psychology. Both the professors were good in explaining the concept and making the sessions interactive and intesting.
The first day after class, they arranged for a city tour, which helped us to learn about the places and easy to commute. The second day after class, they took us out for dinner. The 3rd day after class, they took us to a research center as a study visit.
We were working as group from day 1. On the last day, we as a group, presented our ideas based on the lecture.
Everyday Life and Leisure
I saw many cathedrals and ancient buildings. The architecture inside the buildings was so good. People both in the university and in the city were good and ready to assist.
Conclusion
I would recommend this programme. It helps to understand the cultural differences in the workplace and to manage them.
