Highlights /tentative itinerary

This credited overseas study experience presents business students with unique opportunities to experience a wide range of innovative business practices. In previous years, we have visited:

  • research partners, start-ups and business accelerators throughout Europe.

In addition, we have also visited a number of Swinburne’s strategic partner academic institutions (e.g. Université de Fribourg, Reutlingen University, University College Dublin), where Swinburne students have networked and collaborated with European students, and learned first-hand about longer-term exchange, internship and further study opportunities available to them in Europe.
