Asia Term 2025: Kick-off Week in Singapore

Designed to ease their transition and spark curiosity, the kick-off day blended cultural discovery with academic input aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of life, culture, and business in the region to set students up for a successful and enriching semester ahead. After an introductory session led by the Asia Term programme management, the students headed to the vibrant Maxwell Food Centre, where they could sample an array of local dishes representing Singapore’s diverse culinary heritage. This was followed by a tour of the Singapore City Gallery and Chinatown. The day concluded with a welcome apéro at the SGI office.

During the week, students also successfully completed their first course for the Asia Term, Business Development in Asia, which gave them exposure to the rapidly evolving business landscapes across the Asian region.

Amidst all the experiences and activities, the highlight of the introduction week was the Asia Term Welcome Dinner in an authentic Cantonese setting. We look forward to an insightful semester with our new cohort of Asia Term students!
