About
The Global Learning Expedition is a highly interactive and immersive experiential learning programme developed by multi-award-winning design team from Petrus, together with outstanding academic, industry and community partners.
Working in interdisciplinary, international teams, diverse students tackle real-world business and society challenges. The challenges are carefully designed to demand innovative and critical thinking on the most important issues of today and are underpinned by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
With inspirational talks, skills workshops, career insights, networking sessions and creative teamwork supported by world-class coaches, all participants gain essential workplace skills and discover a range of industries and potential career paths, to hit the ground running on their career-search.
Over the two years that I'm at this university, this is my highlight.
I learnt that I am responsible for the experience I gain - and not to just rely on other outside opportunities!
The personal growth and professional development derived is unlike anything I've experienced before!
I really enjoyed tackling a new challenge, learning about the developments and technical side of AI and then applying this to real life business situations.
I learned how we as people can work together towards a goal, even without knowing each other.
And it was really amazing and valuable to me.
It was amazing to learn in the workshops, get to know other participants, Airbus employees and
very interesting challenges.
Outstanding Education, Industry and Community Partnerships
It was a fantastic way for students to gain some global experience without having to travel abroad.
Programme Highlights
Our programmes equip students with essential skills and hands-on experiences needed to excel in a rapidly evolving, interconnected world. We believe that emerging technologies and sustainability can be better understood for the benefit of all via access to experiential learning. The Global Learning Expedition develops socially conscious, tech savvy future graduates who are ready to enter the workforce while upskilling stakeholders on the latest technology trends.
Our innovative, challenge-based programmes bridge the gap between academia and industry, preparing participants to solve real-world problems with ethical and sustainable solutions. Participants and all stakeholders involved develop critical perspectives on the interaction between business, technology, society, and the environment.
