Custom-built programs for your institution

From US universities building faculty-led programs abroad to business schools embedding AI consultancy projects — we co-design Work Sprints around your curriculum, your calendar and your cohort. Onsite in Europe, online from anywhere, or both.

Co-created, not off-the-shelf

Built around your curriculum

Every partnership starts with your course. We co-create targeted client profiles and projects based on your specific subject focus, map Sprint Gates to your learning outcomes and credit hours, and fit delivery to your academic calendar.

1

Faculty-led & embedded

Run an Onsite Sprint as a JTerm, Maymester or summer capstone in Barcelona, Rome, Lisbon or Exeter — or embed Online Sprints directly into semester modules.

2

Study abroad add-ons

Nano Sprints from 16 hours slot around existing classes in Barcelona, Dublin, Exeter, Lisbon and Rome — real local-client consulting as a study abroad elective.

3

Any cohort, any scale

Online Sprints scale from a single seminar group to a whole faculty, with international clients matched to your course focus and pricing based on class size and duration.

Internationalization at home

COIL-aligned global learning

Fewer than one in ten US undergraduates study abroad. Collaborative Online International Learning — pioneered at SUNY in 2006 — is how internationalization offices reach the rest. Our Online Work Sprints are built on the same principles, with one addition COIL classrooms rarely offer: a real client with real stakes.

WHAT COIL ALIGNMENT MEANS HERE

In practice

Partners across the globe

From high schools in Switzerland to PhDs in Spain, Innovation Masters in the USA to Esports degrees in the UK — including online MBA Work Sprints with Kazakh-British Technical University, delivered fully remotely from Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Engaging in a virtual work experience was transformative for my students, blending theory with real-world application. It's a testament to the adaptability and resilience of today's students in navigating the future of work.
