What is GTP?

I am delighted to welcome you to the Global Talent Programme | GTP.

This innovative award, based on latest research and industry insights, is a true reflection of our vision to inspire learning, advance knowledge and enrich society through the Fusion of education, research and practice, and offers the perfect addition to your studies.

Being part of the GTP community, you will join over 1600 learners across the University to enhance your unique strengths, navigate an increasingly digital and global workplace and design your next generation career.

This year, our popular GTP workshops will bring you inspiring academic and industry speakers and latest trends from the world of work including globalisation, automation, AI, sustainability and diversity to help you build successful online presence and career portfolio, while making the most of the latest high-tech platforms, immersive experiences and tools available at BU.

With 100+ enriching extra-curricular options to choose from - including workplace experiences, overseas adventures, making a difference through community, club and society projects, volunteering, fundraising, enterprise competitions and virtual games -  you can create your own GTP curriculum, while building a strong professional network, and making new friends.

Such experiences will demonstrate that you have solved real-life problems, spotted opportunities, collaborated in diverse teams, and applied creative thinking in complex scenarios which are typical for global enterprises and organisations facing change, political and environmental uncertainty and disruptive technologies.

These new realities call for intellectual curiosity, teamwork, citizenship, collaboration, lifelong learning, research and innovation and new smarter ways of working that build on synergies to impact the wider society.

These are the attributes and skills you will gain by being a Global Talent at BU and will distinguish you as someone ready to step out of their comfort zone to enrich society.

Our programme has been recognised externally for innovation, winning two awards at European and UK forums, confirming the quality of our offer, and I wish you every success on the Global Talent Programme.
