Where better to discover your inner leader than in one of the world's leading cities?
FIE’s Spring Leadership London Semester gives you exposure to the various facets of leadership and through its London location, the greater globalized world we live in today.
Combining rigorous academic coursework, experiential education through a mandatory internship at a British organization, and Student Global Leadership Conference participation, you will return home with a robust experience to fuel your future leadership endeavors. Leadership London:
- Equips you to serve as as a leader – positional and situational – from the classroom to your community
- Provides you the opportunity to experience and reflect on navigating the moral challenges of power
- Prepares you with strategies from varied models of leadership to respond to personal and professional challenges into the future
Who Is It For?
The importance of effective, positive leadership as an agent of societal change and as a catalyst for the transformation of businesses is so pervasive that Leadership London will appeal to students from any academic background.
If you are from a business or communications major or minor, you will find this concentration of real interest because of the relevance of effective leadership to the commercial world and because ‘leadership’ is closely linked to ‘messaging’.
If you are studying social science, you will find Leadership London of interest because of the cross-cultural exposure of both studying in a city / country different to your own. You will be able to do so by experiencing it first hand through the International Internship Course.
All in all, if your college approves the Ethical Leadership course and you want to develop your leadership competencies, you will find Leadership London of real value to you.
FIE is well-equipped to work with faculties and study abroad offices to customize this program to suit the needs of the institution.
