Study abroad: where will you go?
Jenny Wilkinson, 3rd year Music Student
I spent six months studying abroad at
McGill University in Montreal, Canada; it was the best experience of my life.

McGill is one of the world’s top universities. I studied a wide range of modules, from research projects to conducting to pre-school music teaching. Living abroad also equipped me with skills which will remain with me forever, and I made lifelong friends from across the globe. The opportunities for travel offered a host of experiences I would otherwise never have had. After graduating I hope to work with international students, recruiting them to UK institutions and offering student support in an atmosphere including regular overseas travel. Grasp the opportunity and study abroad – it will be the best decision you ever make!
Philippa Hood, 3rd year Music Student
I chose to study at the
University of Auckland in New Zealand. It was a great decision, as both studying and living there were fantastic.

The structure of the course was similar to here at Nottingham, however I had the chance to study some modules that were not available in Nottingham, as well as to experience a different teaching style. One of the best things was the group of people I lived with - from all over the world. We had so much fun in Auckland, as well as travelling around New Zealand. I am soon starting on a graduate scheme in London, and I found that my study abroad experience really helped in the application process - in fact, in some of my interviews it is all I talked about! Employers are interested in people who have done something different, and this is a perfect example.
