  • Testimonial | Overseas study module

    Having travelled to China on business on many occasions I was both excited and a little sceptical about the Doing Business in China module. However, I was amazed by the increase in my knowledge of China after the first couple of lectures alone!

  • Testimonial | Master of Business - Overseas study module

    I participated in the module Doing Business in China in 2009 and found this a very worthwhile course, which enhanced my understanding of the Chinese culture and cultural concept with the aim of creating a better understanding of how to approach business in China.
