The educational trips organised by DEI College, give students the opportunity to visit collaborating universities and large local companies, see their facilities and learn about the way they operate. The companies that DEI College students visit may vary, depending on the students’ interests and their programme of studies. Educational trips of this kind help students form a comprehensive idea of the companies they visit and witness how the knowledge and the skills they acquire in the course of their studies can be applied in practice. Educational trips to collaborating universities give students the opportunity to visit the university facilities and meet with teaching staff, attend lectures, participate in workshops, and, of course, visit local sights and have a great time with their colleagues and teachers.
