Group of students studying abroad

Do you want to study, work or volunteer abroad?

At the University of Liverpool, we believe in helping our students become global citizens with a wide-range of employability skills to help them succeed in the international and inter-cultural employment market after graduation.

To support our students in gaining these invaluable skills, we offer a great range of life changing Global Opportunities for students to experience during their undergraduate studies with us.

Why participate in a global opportunity? 

Reports from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) tell us that students who participate in a global opportunity:

  • Are more likely to be in further education or employment 6 months after graduating
  • 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 makes graduates more employable, whilst European businesses with international links are looking for graduates who have had some form of international experience.

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

  • Improved study techniques
  • Increased self-awareness & self-reliance
  • Inspires their future career or study choices
