International Experience

Overseas Visits

We've organised trips previously to the NBA Institute in New Dehli, where our Media students were able to take advantage of the connection to Jain TV. This trip is aimed at providing a deeper understanding of culture, while interacting with local students and undertaking lecture sessions.

A group of students have also been taken to the Model United Nations Conference in New York. Students were given the opportunity to become UN delegates and represent a given country within the various committees.
