BIP: Diversity Management | UCLL

The BIP Diversity Management brings together Management students from all over the world to work on a transdisciplinary project. The main objective of this week is to provide students with the necessary tools to thrive in a diverse and international business environment. While working on a complex HRM case in international teams, students will develop and strengthen the following dimensions: integration of different HRM techniques, use of digital learning platforms, English language skills, and finally, cross-cultural dialogue and cooperation. The programme consists of virtual meetings before and/or after a week of on-campus activities in Leuven.

Social and cultural activities are organised to allow the students to meet their fellow students from other countries. They can be organised online before the week and during the week in Leuven.

Programme

Do you know how to manage multicultural teams?

  • How do you make your team implement your company’s mission and vision?
  • When do your employees need extra coaching?
  • What makes managing culturally diverse teams challenging?
International business environment

More and more graduates are working in an international business environment, so answers to these questions prove to be more relevant than ever. Therefore, this BIP Diversity Management aims to provide students with all tools necessary to cope with these situations.

Case study

During this BIP, you will have to solve an interesting case study in the field of career management. To complete this task, you will have to draw upon your knowledge of several disciplines, but you will also be assisted by a professional HR manager. At the end of this BIP, directors from several prominent companies will answer your questions about HR topics at a round-table conference.

Competition

This BIP is developed as a competition. The best team will receive an award at the end of the BIP. Team spirit, commitment, enthusiasm and initiative are decisive factors in this competition.
