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 instil 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 and tourism management.

UG-GIP comprises four non-credit-bearing courses: GIP 100BEF (Year 1), GIP 200BEF (Year 2), GIP 300BEF (Year 3)*, and GIP 400BEF (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.

*GIP 300BEF includes a study tour. Students are responsible for incidental expenses such as airfare and accommodation.
