Description This subject provides students with opportunities to engage in immersive, cross-cultural learning experiences outside the traditional classroom environment. It is designed particularly for students who enrol in short term study tours hosted by academics across the Communication, Creative Industries, and Screen Media programs. Study tours offer an opportunity to spend up to four weeks off campus exchanging knowledge with local communities, and participating in industry workshops, lectures, and cultural activities. Successful completion of a study tour will result in broadened global perspectives and better preparedness for a career in an interconnected, agile world.
