Undergraduate Global Immersion Programme

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.
