Study trips give you an advantage over other schools and students. Business study trips let the students experience and see things that they could not experience from lecture or seminars.

The business study missions cover a host of site visits, networking sessions and presentations by prominent guests from both the private and public sector. This facilitates a greater understanding of the various locations, and enables students to extend their personal networks in a given region. The BSM brings students into the heart of multi-national organisations, and provides an insight into the real-world operations of a variety of industries. It can also bring students into direct contact with CEOs. This can lead to the establishment of valuable contacts and sometimes secures an overseas internship.

BSM's Objectives

The BSM module examines a country's developing relationship with Singapore through the study of its unique business, socio-political and cultural environment.

Focusing on business sectors, students gain unique insights into a country or city. Students consider the potential for internships, career and business opportunities, and develop business and educational networks, career and business opportunities. Through case studies, student projects and guest lectures, the course aims to present students with real-life environmental influences and challenges that impact businesses in a specific country.

The trip enables the students to develop a better understanding of the region through direct in situ exposure to its economy, culture, history, and political system, and its relationship with Singapore.

Lessons can then be drawn from these economies that can have an impact on the development of the business infrastructure of Singapore.

Each Business Study Mission comprises a visit to the country being studied where participants are then better equipped to understand more intimately the planning, development and operations of an array of issues related to the programme.

Networking dinners with local and Singaporean businessmen, government officials and academics provide students with insights into local business practices, the economy, culture, and social systems of the country being studied.
