Why Study Abroad?

What are the benefits of choosing to study abroad?

Research has shown that students who participate in a global opportunity:

  • Are more likely to be in further education or employment 6 months after graduating
  • Are more likely to earn higher than average salaries
  • Are more likely to graduate with a 2:1 or First-Class degree

Studies of UK and European businesses show that the UK’s top employers think that Global Opportunities make graduates more employable. Additionally, European businesses with international links are often looking for graduates who have had some form of international experience.

There are also academic and personal benefits to participating in Global Opportunities:

  • Improved study techniques
  • Increased self-confidence
  • Adaptability
  • Independence
  • Resilience
  • Opportunity to travel
  • Opportunity to gain new or improve existing language skills
  • Inspire your future career or study choices
