In a context where business schools and universities are competing in ingenuity to attract the best profiles, one observation is clear: the student experience has become a major differentiating factor . Today, students are no longer choosing just a course, but a life project . This is where Learning Expeditions come into play.
Traveling, meeting inspiring entrepreneurs, discovering an international ecosystem, experiencing a collective adventure... These are the elements students are looking for when comparing schools. Integrating a Learning Expedition into the academic offering allows for:
According to Tanguy Wincker, CEO of Rusker Travel :
"A Learning Expedition is a catalyst for engagement. When a candidate sees they're going to spend a week in Barcelona, exploring startups, sunshine, and networking, they're no longer just thinking about classes... they're thinking about a human and professional adventure. That's what makes a candidate sign up."
And the results are there: several establishments that have collaborated with Rusker have noted an increase in program occupancy rates , particularly in work-study programs or in masters programs that are less visible on the market.
Once there, the effect is immediate. Students return motivated, connected, and proud of their school . They themselves become the best ambassadors for their education on social media and in their circles. It's a virtuous circle: the experience gained on the ground builds the school's reputation and facilitates recruitment for future classes.
