"My experience in Malaysia was amazing. Some of the things that stood out to me were the vibrant culture, the variety of food, and the welcoming people. I have come out of this experience having developed my cultural intelligence, which is a skill that applies to many careers. I strongly believe more NZ businesses should look to Malaysia to conduct international business."
- Sukhleen Kaur, Bachelor of Commerce student
Programme Information
The core of the programme involves business visits and meetings in three cities:
- Singapore (4 nights)
- Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (9 nights)
- Jakarta, Indonesia (6 nights)
In addition, it includes a range of cultural activities, including a two-night trip to Melaka in Malaysia, as well as free days to explore each city on your own.
The course itself has a deeply practical focus, including a project where you will explore a business opportunity in the region. There is also a strong focus on preparing you to function effectively across cultures in your future careers and lives.
While the study tour component is three-weeks long, the course also consists of activities and assessment beforehand and afterwards.
The study tour is part of BSNS228, which is a 15-point 200-level course.
