Asian study tour
The Asian study tour, as part of the Asian Management
Issues course, takes on the theme of ‘A Living Case
Study’. In line with the learning outcomes of the
course, students take in the historical, cultural and
business aspects of an Asian city.
In recent years the study tour to Singapore has
taken in visits to giant technology companies such
as Google, Microsoft, Facebook, HP and Visa
Corporation, along with a range of the city-state’s
cultural institutions.
I really loved the study tour to Singapore. It was
my first time there. It was a really immersive
experience over seven days. There were so
many highlights. I probably got the most out of

short courses
Combine intensive study with summer-time travel
by joining a short course or study tour in Europe.
In recent years, students have joined courses of
one to four weeks in duration at partner institutions
such as EBS University (Germany), Aarhus
University (Denmark), ESSCA Budapest (Hungary)
and Kedge Business School (France), or have taken
part in study tours to RMIT in Barcelona (Spain).
Following their studies, many have gone travelling
around Europe with their new international friends.
