Please note: Applying for the study tour is a competitive process and places are limited. The study tour fee is fully subsidised however students are required to cover the cost of their expenses.
2019 study tour in Switzerland
In 2019, our international study tour was in Switzerland. Highlights of the tour included:
- A visit to Bitcoin Suisse headquarters and Renault Switzerland
- A presentation from the Chief Economist at Credit Suisse
- A visit to the Operations Centre at Zurich Airport for a presentation with the SWISS Airlines Air Traffic Senior Manager
- A lecture on corporate social responsibility (CSR) with the Head of Centre for Corporate Responsibility at ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences.
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.
