The course aims to expand students' horizon and understanding on the social, economic and business context of different cultures. Led by HKUST faculty, the study tour provides students with the opportunity to learn from leading professionals in selected locations globally through visits to partner universities or corporates, as well as meetings with local business leaders or alumni. Course duration will range from one week to multi-weeks. Students are allowed to repeat this course for credit if the locations of the study tours are different. May be graded by letter or P/F for different offerings.
