23/9/09 12:45:34 PM
Melbourne is a glorious mix of contrasts and influences, underpinned by intelligence and earnestness. Capital city of the state of Victoria and home to 3.8 million people, it is known as Australia’s cultural, culinary and sporting capital. A mild climate, affordable living costs, an extensive public transport network and an abundance of parkland and public space, set the scene for a great living experience.
Where do you fit in? Pretty much everywhere. When we ask our international students what they like most about Melbourne, they almost always say ‘the people’. Our long history of multiculturalism has created a community that is accepting and welcoming of new people and new experiences. Home to people from over 230 countries, speaking more than 180 languages, Melbourne is populated by numerous ethnic community centres and groups, which provide fantastic networks for newcomers.
What makes Melbourne? In the city centre you can wind your way through Melbourne’s many laneway shops, bars and cafés, or step onto one of the grand main streets and get caught up in the colourful bustle that is the CBD. Melbourne’s inner-urban villages are also destinations for shopping, eating and socialising and have their own distinct character and vibe.
St Kilda offers beaches, clubs, restaurants and the famous live music venue, the Esplanade Hotel – ‘the Espy’ to locals. Carlton has an Italian feel, with coffee shops, restaurants, bookshops and an arthouse cinema. Prahran is the place to find trendy fashion boutiques. The historic port of Williamstown can be reached by train or ferry from the city, and is a great place to eat, cycle or lie on the beach. Melbourne hosts a multitude of festivals, including the Melbourne International Film Festival, the International Arts Festival, Food and Wine Festival and more. The CBD’s Federation Square is home to the National Gallery of Victoria’s Australian collection plus the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI). Also within the city are the Immigration Museum, the Arts Centre and many other cultural and arts venues. Sport is also an essential piece of Melbourne. Birthplace of Australian Rules Football – commonly known as ‘footy’ – Melbourne’s passion for sport is famous. Throughout the year we host a variety of major sporting events including the Australian Tennis Open, the Spring Racing Carnival, featuring the Melbourne Cup horse race, and the F1 Grand Prix.

In your own backyard
As a participant in the Global Leadership Program you will also have the option of applying to Northeastern to take part of your course on campus in Boston (you will need to apply for a US student visa). Boston is the ultimate college town. The city is a hub of cultural, educational and social activity, yet it’s small enough to navigate on foot.
Northeastern’s central location puts you close to all the city has to offer. Within walking distance are the world-renowned Museum of Fine Arts, Symphony Hall and stylish Newbury Street, with great shopping and dining. Our students can hop on the “T”, Boston’s subway, and shop at Quincy Market, eat in the North End, visit the Museum of Science, cheer on the Celtics and Bruins at the TD Banknorth Garden, or hang out in the funky squares of Cambridge, right across the Charles River.
More than 300,000 college students from around the country and the world call Boston home and the city is alive with their energy. Northeastern students add their own energy to the mix, and are inspired by the different cultures, ideas and experiences they encounter. High-achieving students with strong leadership potential have the opportunity to participate in the ‘Global Leadership in Boston’ program. This four-week program allows eligible students to complete the units Building Financial Relationships and The Ethical Leader at Northeastern University in Boston during the northern hemisphere summer as well as undertaking relevant industry visits in and around Boston.
Boston has been called the “Athens of America” for its wealth of educational and civic institutions. Northeastern students study right in the heart of this intellectual goldmine. Students often find the city’s cultural resources intertwined with their academic and social activities. No matter what their academic or personal interests, the riches of Boston play a part in the everyday life of Northeastern students.
Beyond Boston? For those students who like to get out of town and explore, the options are endless. Ski in Vermont, view colourful foliage and pick apples in Western Massachusetts and New Hampshire, dig for clams in Maine, tour mansions in Newport and bask on the beaches of Cape Cod. While the program is taught in Melbourne, Northeastern’s home is Boston, USA.

The Global Leadership Program is strategically structured to my needs and aspirations to become a global leader. The opportunity to gain two masters degrees within two years is also highly appealing. I have benefited from the emphasis on real teamwork activities and from the teaching of highly experienced Northeastern and Swinburne academics.”
LULU LIANG China Master of Professional Accounting Leadership Stream “I studied the Leadership Stream units in Boston. I enjoyed the class environment, study arrangements, and the supportive framework provided by Northeastern, whose staff do their best to help students settle in to life on campus.

THE GLOBAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM Leadership Stream All students in the Global Leadership Program complete the Leadership Stream.

On successful completion of all eight leadership units and all specified units in either the International Business, Professional Accounting, Marketing or Biotechnology options, graduates are eligible for the Master of Science in Leadership from Northeastern University as well as the relevant partner master degree from Swinburne University of Technology.

Today’s workforce continues to diversify, and the tasks to be accomplished become more complex. This Leadership Stream is designed to assist today’s leaders and prepare emerging leaders in meeting these challenges.
