International experience

Taking part in an international experience has many advantages. It can enhance life experiences, help you build a global network of contacts, broaden your horizons and increase intercultural competence, as well as giving you a competitive edge with regards future careers and employability skills.

This year the university is participating in the Turing Scheme that aims to support overseas mobility for students. The programme can provide living costs for students taking up a work or study opportunity of two weeks or longer.
