One of the greatest strengths of SP Jain Global’s Undergraduate and Postgraduate programs is that we don’t confine learning to four walls. With campuses across Sydney, Singapore, Mumbai, and Dubai, our students experience a truly global education—not just by attending classes but through Global Learning and Student Life that bring life, culture, and careers into focus.

Why are global learning and student life activities important?

Because learning shouldn’t stop at lectures. Global learning and student life are designed to develop the “real-world” version of you, the one who can confidently step into any environment, collaborate across cultures, and solve problems with a fresh, global perspective.

Our students have hiked the Sydney coastline while learning about sustainable tourism, explored Singapore’s bustling financial hub to understand Asia’s business pulse, worked on real-world social projects in Mumbai’s vibrant communities, and even had reflective cultural experiences over Emirati meals in Dubai.

How do they prepare students for real-world careers?

Today’s careers demand global citizens: professionals who are curious, adaptable, and culturally intelligent. GLSL help students build these qualities by:

• Visiting multinational corporations and startups (Google, Deloitte, and local innovation hubs) to see how businesses operate worldwide.
• Participating in leadership workshops, outdoor challenges, and sports events that test teamwork and strategy.
• Learning soft skills like public speaking, networking, and cross-cultural etiquette, all through hands-on experiences.

Imagine presenting a marketing idea to industry experts in Sydney, volunteering at an NGO in Mumbai, exploring fintech innovation in Singapore, and building resilience on an adventure day at Ski Dubai; this is how students become job-ready.

What kind of activities are conducted?

Our global learning activities are an exciting mix of cultural, professional, and social experiences, such as:

In Dubai:

• Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding & Emirati meal
• Ski Dubai, Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, SeaWorld
• Business fest, talent nights, sports day, cultural evenings, and farewell parties

In Singapore:

• River Safari & Gardens by the Bay exploration
• Financial District corporate visits and startup ecosystem tours
• Team-building camps and adventure parks

In Sydney:

• Visits to iconic Australian businesses and innovation hubs
• Sydney Opera House tours, Blue Mountains Day trips, and coastal hikes
• Sports days and leadership development workshops

In Mumbai:

• Visits to financial markets and entrepreneurial hubs
• Cultural heritage tours, culinary experiences, and Bollywood studio visits
• Social responsibility projects with local NGOs

The magic of global learning and student life

Over the years, I’ve seen our undergraduate and postgraduate students transform. The shy first-year student who hesitates to speak up often turns into the confident leader who leads a team challenge or impresses a corporate mentor. Global Learning & Student Life give students the experiences they talk about long after graduation because these moments shape them as individuals and professionals. 

So, are you ready for the next adventure? Whether it’s uncovering Singapore’s street food culture, learning business innovation in Sydney, soaking in Mumbai’s energy, or experiencing the futuristic charm of Dubai, your journey at SP Jain School of Global Management is truly a global one.
