International Business Study Tour (12206.1)

This unit is designed to expose students to the international business arena and experience the cultural aspects of an overseas country through a Business, Government & Law faculty led student study tour. While in the host country students will research, visit businesses and study a range of topics relevant to both the global environment and competitive strategy of international business.

It is anticipated that the study tour will be hosted by a renowned university in the city/country where the study tour will take place in conjunction with a Business, Government & Law academic, who will co-ordinate the study tour.
