Study Abroad Program at AUK: An enriching experience for students

Professor Jeremy Cripps from American University of Kuwait accompanied twenty students on a "Study Abroad" trip to Germany, where they enjoyed a series of critical thinking and professional experiences including a visit to the Trading Floor at Citigroup Frankfurt, a visit to Badische Stahlwerke Gmbh- the most productive steel plant in the world. They reviewed the gear-box assembly process at General Motors, toured John Deer's second largest plant, visited the German Stock Exchange, and the assembly plant of Daimler AG.

The trip also focused on cultural engagement, including walking tours of Frankfurt, Strasbourg and Heidelberg, attending lectures on global economy and cultural diversity, as well as visiting various museums around Germany.

The group of AUK students will put together a comprehensive presentation of their activities to present to their University.
