What's involved:

  • A week-long Summer School combining an exciting academic program during the day with enriching extra-curricular activities in the evenings.
  • Participants will reside at Emmanuel College on the St Lucia campus of The University of Queensland.
  • Each week-day morning, participants will hear from dynamic and eminent key-note speakers in their fields in a series of lectures and workshops held at Emmanuel College.
  • Afternoon sessions will occur at the IES campus in inner-city Brisbane where the group will engage in an on-line leadership simulation conducted within the Second Life platform. The experience will involve participants in decision making in a dynamic business environment that will require them to demonstrate leadership skills within a team.
  • Each night there will be a fun and stimulating program of events held at the College and the University. A Closing Dinner and Graduation Ceremony will bring the week to a conclusion.
