"Bloomberg was undoubtedly one of the best and most inspirational visits. A fascinating insight into a company that provides essential financial and market information to institutions around the world."David Teasdale, MBA
"I was delighted with the chance to participate in the Lehigh/Nottingham MBA Exchange, which was an intensive programme with valuable input in terms of leadership management. The warm welcome by our American hosts combined with outstanding organisation impressed me most.
This opportunity offered me a deeper understanding of the American way of doing business accompanied by priceless opportunities to build up network contacts and exchange points of view."
