2008 Trip

Feedback
The Dubai trip was amazing! I got to experience Dubai which was very different from what I had read or heard about in the news/media beforehand. The trip also made me seriously consider working in the region, although I had not considered it before. Some of the "Case study sessions" were also very informative and educational and I felt that we all got a lot out from them. Meeting people from around the UK, from many different nationalities was also very exciting and it was a trully an amazing experience! Thank you for organising it!

I thought that the Dubai 2008 trip was brilliant. It had a broad range of activities and corporate visits which not only opened my eyes to future career possibilities within the region, but it also gave me a first hand view of the culture of the Middle East. I had an excellent time on the trip and will definitely be looking to attend future Oxford Emerging Markets trips.
