“I was a part of the World Business Academy and the Business Internship, and they both offered me a really great comprehensive introduction to business and economics. I had Dr. Dericks as my instructor and he was nothing short of supportive and an amazing teacher throughout the courses. I would highly recommend the World Business Academy for anyone interested in pursuing a career in the business sector or even just wanting knowledge of the field!”
“This was my first time doing world scholars and it was a great experience! It made me excited every day knowing that I would have my lessons after my long day knowing that I would be learning new things I never knew before with an amazing teacher, Filipa, who made each subject so easy to understand with perfectly made presentations, quick quizzes and clear explanations. You could tell how passionate Filipa was when working though every lesson making all the lessons enjoyable and engaging. One thing I really enjoyed was how supportive Filipa was, helping us if we had any questions, quick to respond with helpful advice and with a welcoming smile every day. All of her materials were very well set up and organised and extremely helpful lessons with easy going activities and challenging assignments that gave us a chance to apply all of our prior learning in practical ways. I recommend if you ever get the chance to take the world scholars summer course to try to sign up with Filipa as she truly cares deeply about her work and studies and she is such a positive teacher and I enjoyed every session I had!! Thank youuu”
“I took World Business Academy + Business Internship
I enjoyed the knowledge and insights from this course and internship. As a student interested in finance sometimes it is tough to find something related to this topic. However, in the internship, we did a lot of work related to finance and also learnt a lot of information about finance/economics/business on the course. It gave me a lot of new insights and deepened my knowledge in those fields/We have learnt about how price forms, accounting, marketing and creating our project at the end. I think students interested in economics/finance/business/management degree must take it. It will help them a lot before the uni life.”
“I took the Medicine Internship and I honestly learned so much more than I would in a quarter of school! It helped me refine my writing and learn to actually think like an academic scholar. This course further my interest in science and the medical field itself. I feel the growth I have made will help me be a better student and learner!”
“This is the best online course I've ever taken. The teacher is very patient with us, and we can feel free to ask any questions. Dr. Derrick wanted us not only to learn what he taught, but to learn how to learn and love learning. I learned a lot in just one week and will definitely come back next time”
“It was a very engaging experience for me, and the mentor really emulsified me into the work and principles of writing the paper. Although, there was a slight delay in the publishing which is understandable, but it was potrayed as an article rather than a review paper, which is what we paid for.”
“The World Coders Academy program was a fabulous program. We had a great instructor who was a real expert in computer science and how to teach it. The classes were inclusive and engaging, and what I found most exciting is that you don’t need to be an expert or an intermediate; even if you are a beginner, you can make it. During most classes, we covered a lot of content about computer science and programming. There was enough time to practice what we studied.”
“World Scholars Academy has taught me many useful lessons in the business world with depth and clarity. Dr. Derricks made sure that we understood the material by letting us ask questions whenever we were confused. This course is a very interactive way where you can learn a whole ton about business.”
“Absolutely brilliant! This was my first online course, and it checked every box for a first timer: mentor, content, environment, and comprehension. Dr Dericks made sure to assist each of us thoroughly and cover every topic extensively. It definitely set a tone for what I want to do. Highly recommended to every student wanting to purse business.”
“The business course that I took was informing yet interesting. As it was one of my first time taking such an online course, I didn't know what to expect. Dr. Dericks, my instructor, welcomed my classmates and I and set a comfortable pace for us to learn. All of the explanations for specific topics were easy to comprehend and fascinating. I highly recommend checking these classes out.”
“I had a great experience with WSA once with a law internship, and once with a more general law class. My instructor Filipa Paes was amazing, the content we learned was engaging, and I walked away from both experiences with a clearer picture of what I wanted to do with my future.”
“It was truly an amazing experience to be part of the Creative Writing Academy!
The small size of the classes made it easier for us to connect with the teacher and the other students. In that way, asking questions and sharing past experiences were a lot more engaging and fun! Right now I feel way more confident with my english writing skills, even though I know that we can always improve, and with my choice career in the future. I am completely grateful for my instructor Luke and for everything he taught me during the two weeks. Nowadays I am a junior who feels extremely excited to explore even more the literary world and I will keep my promise to my instructor about always looking for new ways to improve my writing.
I highly recommend the Creative Writing Academy for those who want to improve their writing skills in an extremely fun, engaging, friendly and interactive environment.”
“I participated in the World Engineers Academy as a rising junior. I can say without a doubt that I loved the experience. My goals were to both enrich my engineering knowledge and learn about the engineering career specialties. I accomplished those goals but was surprised at how much fun I had. The class size was perfect for personal interaction without feeling lost in a large group. My instructor Dr. Trivedi was my probably my favorite part of the experience. He not only shared a wealth of knowledge, but made the class something I really looked forward to each day. I highly recommend the engineering academy experience to anyone looking to explore this field in a highly interactive, friendly environment from an actual expert.”
“This was a great experience! There was a lot of work and a LOT of reading, but what we produced in the 5 weeks was truly gratifying. At the end of it, I felt really proud of what I accomplished, as writing a thorough review paper about competition law and AI collusion wasn't something I knew I could do. The process allowed for us as students to really take charge of the work, but we were also very well supported by our mentor throughout. The internship was truly insightful, and I emerged more confident in my academic writing capabilities.”
“Definitely gratifying - that’s how I would describe my experience with the class and instructors. As a student who had many opportunities, none left an impression this indelible. They were adequately engaging, organized and well explained, enriching my knowledge to a great degree. As a buyer, I recommend these courses to people who desire to learn and have fun.”
“I took the Worlds Academy Medical program because I had no idea what speciality I wanted to focus in. It was honestly an amazing experience. My mentor was Doctor Hoggs and she was spectacular! She was patient and helped make class a fun experience. I recommend taking this class to not only learn about taking medicine in the future but to become excited for medicine. Taking this course can give you a broad answer in whether medicine in the right fit for you which is crucial to pre med students.”
“This year I took the World Coders Academy course, and I really enjoyed it! There was a good balance of instruction and practice, and the practice exercises were really well made. I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot about Python.”
“I took the discover business academy and the world business academy with Dr. Gerard Dericks, and I must say I loved them! I learned much about investing, stocks, prices, macro and microeconomics, and more. They were engaging, fun courses well-organized, and adequately explained by a phenomenal professor.

It is excellent for anyone interested in learning about anything and everything, from market equilibrium to deep learning.
