Undergraduate Global Immersion Programme

Being able to work effectively with foreigners and foreign organisations has become a very important contributor to career success in the internationalised economy. The Undergraduate Global Immersion Programme (UG-GIP) is designed to support B&A students in developing their potential in the internationalised environment. UG-GIP aims to instill in students a deeper understanding of a foreign culture and its society and environment, and expose students to a broader overview and understanding of international business.

UG-GIP comprises four non-credit bearing courses: BUS 0081BEF (Year 1), BUS 0082BEF (Year 2), BUS 0083BEF (Year 3)*, and BUS 0084BEF (Year 4). These courses are designed to enhance students’ intercultural awareness and communication skills and help students to develop a global mindset. Details can be found here.

*BUS 0083BEF includes a study tour. Students are responsible for incidental expenses such as airfare and accommodation.
