Testimonials

GSERM receives regularly excellent feedbacks and comments from our lecturers and participants and likes to share a selection of theses testimonials with you.
"I really enjoyed the GSERM Winter School. My week at Oslo was a good balance of academic learning and social networking organized in a smart and effective manner. In addition to learning from well published scholars and interacting with peers from all over the world, I was able to experience the Nordic way of life and explore the city of Oslo. I would highly recommend GSERM to anyone seeking to develop their research methodology skills. "

"I had one of my most unique study experiences with GSERM Global School in Empirical Research Methods in Oslo. Classes at futuristic BI located 2km from foresty areas were short, but well-taught with top notch lecturers. Cross-country skiing and frosty sightseeing in Oslo gave me a glimps into the way of life in snowy, energetic and beautiful Norway. As a PhD student in natural sciences it was enriching to meet people from totally different fields and I did not expect to make so many new friends in such a short time."
