For MBA students — global business exposure in the UAE
What is the International Immersion Program in Dubai?▼

Global Immersion & International Internship
For PGDM students — Southeast Asia & Middle East
What is the PGDM Global Immersion Program?▼

What is the International Internship Program for PGDM students?▼
The International Internship is a two-month professional work placement where PGDM students work with organisations in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Unlike a study tour, this is hands-on professional experience in real international corporate settings — contributing directly to live teams and business projects abroad.
Is the Global Immersion the same as the International Internship?▼
No — they are two distinct experiences:
- Global Immersion: A 2-week structured global immersion program with industry visits and academic components in Singapore, Malaysia & Indonesia.
