Global Programme – Learning Beyond the Classroom
The Global Programme encourages leadership development, cultivates a global outlook among students & promotes cross-cultural awareness & understanding by collaborating with universities & organizations around the world. USP students are able to choose from a wide range of programmes through which they may further explore their global learning objectives.
The wide-ranging activities under the Global Programme are conceptualized either by faculty members or by students themselves. These may or may not be led by a USP or NUS faculty member and are designed to provide intensive and experiential learning opportunities for all participants.
Students are able to exercise critical reflection and intellectual leadership outside of the classroom, thereby helping them bridge the gap between their academic studies and the wider world of responsibility and performance. Such learning is an integral part of the holistic approach to education in USP.
