One of the key components in the Global Immersion Programme (GIP) is an overseas study tour, where business students enjoy the opportunity to visit different countries and learn about their cultures, lifestyles, and business practices. While the pandemic might have deprived students of the opportunity to travel aboard, it does not dampen their enthusiasm to learn about different cultures and expand their understanding of international business. This year, Lee Shau Kee School of Business and Administration (B&A) has organized a series of 'Learn and Experience' study tours, where students have the opportunity to join a local residential programme centered on a specific country and culture.
