DGI (2-week) programmes

DGI (2-week) programmes provide longer and deeper overseas learning experiences that allow undergraduate students to engage deeper with host institutions, organisations, and programme partners across Asia.

 

The extended duration enables students to delve deeper in understanding the regional innovation ecosystem, business landscape and operating environments by spending more time exploring the local industries, organisations, and cultural contexts of the host country whilst participating in more structured learning activities.

 

These programmes reflect a stronger emphasis on immersive and applied learning aligned with SUTD’s DIVE initiative.

Programme activities

Depending on the programme design, activities may include:

  • Workshops organised by host universities or institutions
  • Collaborative learning activities with students from partner institutions
  • Project-based learning components
  • Site visits to companies, start-ups, or organisations
  • Discussions with professionals, entrepreneurs, or academics
Learning outcomes

Depending on the programme structure and partner institution, students may be required to produce deliverables such as:

  • Project presentations
  • Concepts or solution ideas
  • Project documentation or reports
  • Reflections on their learning experiences

Student experiences

The Programme at Mahidol University was an eye-opening journey into Thailand’s innovation and entrepreneurship landscape… This experience not only sharpened my presentation and problem-solving skills but also reshaped how I wish to pursue innovation with both rigour and empathy.

The Programme in Vietnam was an eye-opening journey that blended learning, culture, and creativity… Beyond the classroom, I gained valuable insights into Vietnam’s growing sustainability movement and dynamic economic landscape.
