Global Mobility Opportunities

A global outlook through study

Going abroad during your studies can be one of the most amazing experiences of your life. You'll get to travel, experience new cultures, make new friends, eat great food and have lots of fun. Not only that, but you can push yourself further in your studies and really set your CV apart from others when you graduate.

In many cases you’ll have the opportunity to put the theory from your studies into practice, and there is good evidence that shows students who participate in some form of Global Mobility opportunity go on to get better grades in their degree classification and enjoy enhanced employability prospects.
