Global Learning Methods

 

   
Focus on diversity of thought and interactions
 

The world of international trade places huge demands on executives, entrepreneurs and professionals engaging with the fierce competitive dynamics and challenges. At WTU we believe that advanced world trade education must emulate these demands and pressures in order to better prepare the new, emerging world trade leaders of tomorrow.

A range of learning methods, including theoretical overview, discussion, case study, simulation, role play, team project, and independent study are all integral components to the learning process at WTU.

Activities will involve group work with a variety of peers with diverse backgrounds, who will work together to apply new, sophisticated business tools that they will need in practice. Each module rigorously examines business concepts within the local and international contexts.

Instructional methods include conceptual and application learning, classroom lecture and discussion sessions, case studies, contemporary issues speakers, analysis and presentation. The programs include presentations by experts from universities and international insurance corporations combining academic excellence with practical experience.

Real World Experiences and Teaching
  At the end of each program a symposium will be held to draw the links of knowledge and practice together into one cohesive focus. Student will be introduced to real world opportunities to engage and demonstrate and apply their knowledge in a high level environment with world experts. This may include an overseas study trip where participants may visit local enterprises and meet top executives and professionals from the region.

Company visits will be held to give the participants additional opportunities for personal exposure and to interact with other industry professionals who hold vast ranges of experiences.

Blended Learning Techniques
 

All of WTU’s learning programs will be delivered using a blending learning model that combines face to face, classroom techniques with online learning tools and modules, coaching and mentoring, as well as knowledge resources
