Leadership & Management

UNIT DESCRIPTION

The International Leadership Study Tour provides students with an opportunity to be immersed and gain deeper insights into the business, leadership and cultural aspects of an overseas country or countries. The unit commences with a pre-departure workshop focussed on cross-cultural business and trade, emerging markets, financial markets, and researching and analysing international opportunities relevant to the destination country or countries. While overseas, students will spend time meeting with entrepreneurs, investors, business executives, not-for-profit and/or political leaders as well as attending events and/or conferences related to international business and leadership. Entry into this unit is selective and limited and at the discretion of Chancellor Institute. Students must demonstrate that they have met the eligibility criteria (including visa requirements) before being permitted to enrol. Eligibility criteria will be published each year by the Institute and will be based on the quality of the application, academic standing and performance and size of the cohort. Students must complete an application form and personal statement to be considered for admission. Students must pay for their own flights, accommodation, and meals and obtain travel insurance (including health insurance) prior to departure.
