LBX330 Study Tour - 2009
LBX330 Asia International Business Study Tour - Winter Term 2009
Gain an international experience and fast track your degree
Apply YOUR discipline knowledge in a multi-disciplinary study tour.
Make international industry contacts and look at how culture can impact on international business, with a Study Tour in Asia.
The Study Tour involves two distinct components - the study of the unit LBX330 Global Business Practice and Culture, as well as a two week overseas study tour visiting a wide range of organisations. The Study Tour will expose students to international business practices, the views of managers and senior executives from many organisations, and let them experience how culture impacts on international business activities.
Unit and Study Tour Structure
LBX330 commences with an intensive two day series of seminars and presentations which relate to both the study tour and aspects of the unit. All students participating in the study tour are required to attend. The unit and study tour requires various pieces of assessment including an oral presentation.
Objectives
The study tour exposes students to international business practices in a range of industries and provides a unique insight into the culture of the countries visited.
Students will also have the opportunity to hear first hand the views of managers and senior executives from various organisations in Asia.
Prerequisites
Whatever degree stream you are in, you may like to consider LBX330 as an elective subject in your degree. Although the subject/tour is ideally suited to students from second year onwards, you can still apply earlier. However, you must have completed at least 8 subjects (at the time of travel).
Costs
In addition to the normal tuition fees and the cost of the Learning Guide and textbook, each student is required to pay for the travel component.
The cost usually includes flights, twin-share accommodation, breakfast, airport transfers and business cards.
A non-refundable deposit is to be paid on application.
14 scholarships are being offered to applicants in 2009, allocated on a 'first come' basis. .
