Welcome to the Career-related Programme (CP) – where Arts, Sustainable Business, and Sport Management come together in an exciting blend of academic learning and hands-on experience. At GESS, our CP empowers students to explore their passions, gain practical skills, and prepare for the demands of the modern world. Through this programme, we aim to inspire students to lead with creativity, responsibility, and resilience.
We are proud to share our latest collaborations in delivering the Career-related Study (CRS) component. Students at GESS now have the opportunity to choose from three prestigious international pathways:
Sustainability Management School (SUMAS, Switzerland) – Focused on Business & Sustainability, with modules in fashion, hospitality, conservation, and innovation.
Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD, USA) – Offering world-class Arts, Design & Digital Media programmes, providing students with creative skills and professional portfolio development.
World Academy of Sport (WAoS, Global) – Specialising in Sports Management & Athlete Development, supporting future careers in sports leadership, coaching, and event management.
Through these partnerships, students benefit from expert mentorship, international networks, and industry-relevant experiences that extend far beyond the classroom. The CRS at GESS ensures our students graduate not only with academic achievement but also with the professional skills and confidence to thrive at university and in their chosen careers.
Kind regards,
Mr. Brown
