Program Overview
The study program offers students a valuable opportunity to learn how business operates in China, the second largest, and the fast growing economy in the world, and to build strong business networks. This experience is a distinct advantage for business students as the effects of globalisation require business professionals to be able to operate in a range of cultural environments.
The study program will include:
- A series of lectures provided by academic staff from Deakin University and East China University of Politics and Law (ECUPL).
- Guest lectures and seminars delivered by senior Chinese Government officials, Australian Government representatives and leaders, and professionals from foreign businesses operating in China.
- Site visits to a variety of international organisations including multinational corporations, small foreign SMES, state-owned enterprises as well as local Chinese businesses.
- Opportunities to compare industrial zones of Shanghai and surrounding towns and the cities of Beijing, Hainan Island and Hong Kong.
- Time to explore the historical and cultural sites and the opportunity to immerse in the cultural environment.
