"I believe that one plus one makes way more than two, when you're willing to live with the different, disagree cheerfully, unite agendas and build commitment around them - that's when real change happens."

• Cross Cultural Practicum Table
• Experiential Credit Table
• Apply for credit

The GLP awards credit for academic and cultural experiences with an international component and cross cultural focus.

Undergraduate students must obtain a minimum of 200 points worth of experiential credit to fulfil the requirements of the GLP. Points are earned for 'extra-curricular' leadership and cultural activities.  Examples include going on a student exchange, undertaking an internship, or participating in an internationally focused event.

By engaging in a range of internationally focused activities, Macquarie students get real experience at applying the concepts of cross-cultural understanding, all the while enhancing their resume.
