Programme Information
The programme involves two components:
- Hangzhou (12 nights) - you will be based at one of UC's partner universities, Zhejiang Gongshang University where you will attend tailored lectures and participate in a range of activities with local students.
- Shanghai (7 nights) + Guangzhou (4 nights) - you will undertake business visits and meetings
In addition, it includes a range of cultural activities, 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 China. 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 assessments beforehand and afterwards.
The study tour is part of BSNS228, which is a 15-point 200-level course.
BSNS228 tuition fee plus a $2,500 fee* which covers flights, accommodation, and programme-related activities (food and other expenses are additional and to be paid directly by participants).
* This is a subsidised fee using the UC Business School Global Experience Award. This award only applies to Bachelor of Commerce students who have not already received the Global Experience Award. If you are from another a degree or have already received the Global Experience Award, the fee will be $4,000.
The $2,500 fee is a reduced fee, with UC Business School subsidising the actual cost via the UC Business School Global Experience Award for those who are eligible.
Māori and Pacific students may also be able to receive a Global Experience Award - Māori and Pacific students valued at $1,000 to further subsidise the cost.
If you are eligible for a student loan or allowance at UC, you should continue to be eligible for the study tour, provided that you meet the requirements of Studylink.

In addition to meeting the eligibility criteria above, students must provide a personal statement when applying for the programme, which will be taken into account in determining who is selected to participate in it. The basis of selection will be demonstrated academic achievement in the form of an applicant’s GPA and the quality of the personal statement. Equal consideration will be given to both criteria.
