Find out moreHow do you make an impact in a changing world full of complex issues? Macquarie University’s Global Leadership Program (GLP) provides the tools you need to stay up to date with social and cultural awareness.
Open to all Macquarie students, the GLP is a co-curricular program that can be undertaken alongside any course at Macquarie.
With a focus on cross-cultural understanding, leadership, international issues, innovation, and entrepreneurship the GLP provides you with the knowledge, skills and networks you’ll need to advance in your professional and personal lives.
Organised into three distinct engagement streams, the GLP offers a range of interdisciplinary workshops and practical experiences to fit around your academic timetable.
These experiences are geared towards your professional aspirations and provide robust discussions, peer to peer learning, and access to expert insight on global challenges for students.
By exploring new topic areas and engaging in global issues, the GLP helps to connect you with other students outside of your study discipline.
You will develop the skills, awareness, and intercultural competence needed to become a conscious global leader and citizen.
The GLP aims to develop your understanding and critical thinking about international and local issues in an increasingly globalised world.
It also supports socioemotional learning by building a sense of belonging to a global community and cultivates a respect for differences and diversity.
You are encouraged to participate effectively and responsibly at local, national and global levels for a more peaceful and sustainable world.
The Global Leadership Program is open to all full-degree students and we encourage everyone who is interested to join.
