Academic research often follows a long timeline — a qualitative study conducted in 2022, accepted for publication in summer 2024, and now officially published in March 2025.
This newly published study by Christopher Weilage, Eva Stumpfegger, and Gabriella Maráz, core faculty members at Munich Business School, examines how students acquire cross-cultural skills in online exchange semester programs.
Published in the Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, the study provides insights into the challenges and opportunities of virtual exchange formats. It explores how universities can enhance transformative learning and cultural immersion in online settings and raises important questions about the effectiveness of current approaches.
