Global Business Practicum (COMM5020) Jakarta

Summer Term Course

Living and working overseas can be a life-changing experience. It allows you to experience another culture, expand your global network, and gives you a competitive advantage when it comes to securing a job after you graduate.

But did you know that you may be able to gain credit toward your degree if you choose to travel overseas?

Designed to provide you with a global understanding of the world of work, the Global Business Practicum (COMM5020) is a unique opportunity to work on real business issues in an international organisation.

As part of this course, you will be placed in organisations spanning international finance, marketing, global sustainability and technology, and work in small teams as consultants on genuine business challenges. You will also have the opportunity to network with industry leaders and UNSW alumni, learn about local customs through immersive cultural experiences, and connect with new friends at our partner university.

Workshops

As part of COMM5020 you are expected to attend 4 pre-departure workshops in person. These workshops will include your team allocation, an introduction to your host company, guest speakers from industry and an introduction to consulting methodologies to help you succeed.
