Business across our Program Locations

China

  • China has huge export activity. Since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, it has consistently enjoyed double digit year-on-year export growth rates. It has now overtaken the US as the World’s biggest trading nation in value of exports and imports.
  • China has 4 of the top 10 companies in the world (Fortune Global 500 – 2022): State Grid, China National Petroleum, Sinopec Group and China State Construction Engineering. Learn from industry giants during your international business internship in China.

Japan

  • Oral agreements in Japan have as much weight as contracts. This is because Japan has a relationship-driven society, it is the quality of relationships in business that will determine events rather than legal necessities. Our alumni tell us that this is the type of unique knowledge and experience that is the differentiator on their CVs for years to come.

Vietnam

  • With political stability and economic growth, Vietnam has received honorable titles in recent years such as Tiger State and Next Eleven.
