1-week DGI programmes

The 1-week DGI programmes are designed to give students a meaningful first step into DIVE through short-format immersion and structured experiential learning.

 

These programmes provide early overseas exposure, allowing students to experience how organisations and initiatives operate in different environments—supporting DIVE’s goal of helping students connect academic learning with lived contexts, industry practices, and regional perspectives.

 

Programmes are delivered in collaboration with host universities, institutions, or local programme partners, depending on the destination and programme design.

Programme activities

Activities may include:

  • site visits to companies, start-ups, or organisations
  • discussions with professionals, entrepreneurs, or academics
  • workshops or practical learning sessions organised by host institutions
  • exposure to local industries and organisational practices
  • cultural activities that provide context to the local environment

Specific activities may vary depending on the programme partner and destination.

Learning outputs

Depending on the programme design, students may produce outputs such as:

  • reflections on your learning experiences
  • group presentations
  • documentation of programme activities
  • ideas or observations related to the topics explored during the programme
