Why go abroad?

Studying abroad gives you access to a whole range of new experiences. See the world, further your career prospects, and increase your earning potential.

You'll also get the opportunity to:

• meet new people
• build networks of friends and practitioners
• learn a new language.

Develop your personal and people skills required in the global workplace, including:

• intercultural communication and language skills
• adaptability and tolerance
• resilience and independence
• problem solving
• confidence and leadership skills.

Students who study or work abroad during their studies are more likely to:

• achieve a first-class or upper second-class degree
• be in a graduate level job or further study
• have stronger employability and transferable skills, and earn more.

Our employability and volunteering teams can help you get work experience or volunteer in another country.
