Do you aspire to be a global graduate? Do you want to enhance your employability while travelling the world? Do you dream of having an international career? If yes, then studying or working abroad during your degree can help you on your way.
What is study abroad?
Study abroad gives students an opportunity to apply to study or work in another country during their degree
The duration of your study abroad experience could range from one week to one year. This will depend on the programme you apply for, and the course you are studying.
