Our Masters students have the opportunity to apply for a place on a week-long international study tour which includes company visits, guest lectures and networking events, with time to visit local places of interest.

Please note: All PGT students are eligible to apply for a place on the study tour related to their programme of study. Applying for the study tour is a competitive process and places are limited.

Reflecting back on my experience at the University of Leeds study tour to the POLIMI Graduate School of Management, I realise how practical it was to my entrepreneurial journey. Exploring Entrepreneurship in the Digital World, Multisided Platforms, and tools like the Customer Journey, Persona Development, and the Business Canvas provided practical frameworks that I’ve applied directly to my work. As the founder and director of <a href="https://innominds.co.uk/">Experiential Academy</a>, I’ve developed a multisided platform, been recognised with national and international awards, and was selected for the inaugural Innovative Entrepreneurs Programme. Thanks to everyone involved this tour not only was a great adventure in a new country but also truly transformed my idea into impactful actions.
I would describe the study tour as one of my most enjoyable, educational and valuable experiences so far. I am certain I will take this experience and the skills that I learnt with me to my future career, including what I learned in the classroom, the company visits, the connections I made and also from spending time in Switzerland.
