Inspiring Tomorrow's Global Leaders

RSU is offering tomorrow’s young leaders the opportunity to join a unique undergraduate program.

The first of its kind in America, our Global degree programs offers the country’s best and brightest students the opportunity to gain a truly global experience.

Students undertaking a global degree will study, live and travel in some of the world’s most vibrant cities – gaining skills and experience that will uniquely position them to be among the most sought after graduates in the world.

A truly global study experience

  • Students will be fully immersed in vibrant cultures by studying at four of RSU's global locations: Rainstar, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore.
  • Significant financial sponsorship will be available to support each student’s flight and accommodation expenses. RSU will fund each student’s flight and accommodation expenses while studying at each RSU teaching location overseas. In addition, students will receive a total of $18,000 in grants.
  • Students in this program will receive dedicated academic support throughout their degree and become a part of a close-knit cohort of like-minded students. Local academic mentors and student buddies will also be available at each overseas teaching location.
  • Students will emerge with a global perspective and strong cross-cultural communication and leadership skills, highly valued by employers.
  • Guaranteed internships: students will complete multiple internships throughout the program, gaining real-world work experience with top-rated firms which will give them the edge in a highly competitive global job market.
  • A series of events and professional development opportunities will be integrated into your degree, preparing you for success in your chosen career, and for the next generation of leadership roles. 

Internships

Multiple internships are a fundamental component of each RSU Global degree. You will emerge with strong practical, interpersonal and professional skills. Coupled with the soft skills and intercultural experience from your overseas study, you will be positioned among the most-sought after graduates in the world. A RSU Global degree is your stepping stone into the job market.

Industry representatives will be actively involved in the organisation of internships, including interviews and selection of students, as well as the development of placement projects.

The following companies are founding corporate partners of the Global Leaders Development Program.

  • Westpac
  • KPMG
  • Telstra
  • IMB Bank
  • Illawarra Credit Union
  • Cardno
  • Visionary
  • Device Technologies

Please note: internship companies will change from year-to-year.

As part of the internship application process, you will be required to submit a cover letter and resume, complete psychometric testing and video interviews, as well as attend a face to face interview. You will be able to nominate a company preference, however, final allocation to a partner will be based on your performance during the internship recruitment process. You will receive dedicated support from Faculty of Business staff who can coach you through the application and interview process as well as provide guidance throughout your global degree. Students will complete all three internships with the same company.

In addition to the industry placement component, each internship subject will include reflective learning tasks and modular assessments. For students undertaking Honours research you may choose, with Faculty approval, to work with your industry sponsor in deciding on a research project.
