Macquarie's Undergraduate GLP will develop your leadership skills, professional competency and knowledge of international issues as you learn with students from a range of academic disciplines.
Gain unmatched access to critical international and professional topics from industry leaders though the GLP Colloquium Series.
Held at Macquarie’s North Ryde campus, these workshops will equip you with the knowledge, skills and networks to influence positive global and social change. No prior knowledge is required and you don’t need to complete any pre-reading or assessment.
Learn how to work effectively across cultures, develop innovative and entrepreneurial ideas to solve the world’s complex challenges, and call on leadership skills to inspire collaboration and growth.
The GLP’s Experiential Credit provides the opportunity to put theory into practice by completing an academic or co-curricular activity with a cross-cultural, international, innovation, or leadership focus. Step outside of your comfort zone and develop important personal and professional skills.
As part of your experiential credit you could:
The options are endless. Complete an activity on campus, in your local community, or around the world and have the freedom to organise around your busy lifestyle – from the day you start the GLP to the day you finish your degree.
Gain a unique insight into the leadership and innovative approach of professionals who are at the height of their careers. Follow their personal journey as they strived to create positive global social change and learn practical tools from their lessons and insights to inspire your own entrepreneurial or leadership journey.
