Internationalization

Overview

The Internationalization Committee at Symbiosis Centre for Management Studies, Bengaluru believes in cultivating a vibrant international learning environment while fostering connections with academic communities worldwide.

We envision a higher education space in our institute where scholars, educators, and students from all corners of the globe are welcomed and encouraged to share their knowledge and perspectives. To realize this vision, the Internationalization Committee actively engages with foreign speakers, introduces global events, and brings forth several exchange programs and summer schools, all to promote global understanding and learning.

Through various initiatives and programs, we aim to create a more inclusive and globally aware campus environment. The committee has brought forward several international semester exchange programs, summer school programs, intra college events and interaction with different institutes. Some of these are-

Events
