Short-Term Opportunities

Enjoy an international experience outside of term time

Short-term global opportunities allow you to gain international experience as part of your degree, without committing to a full year or semester abroad. These experiences usually occur over the summer months, outside of term time.

Shorter term global placements are a great option if you:

  • don’t want to extend the length or duration of your degree, but would like to add an international dimension to your study experience
  • have family, work or caring commitments that mean you can’t travel outside of the UK for long periods of time
  • just want to try something different without a big time commitment

There are lots of positive reasons to incorporate a global experience as part of your degree. A short-term global placement gives you the opportunity to:

  • make cultural connections
  • improve your intercultural understanding
  • discover a new country
  • enhance your skills and CV

Something for everyone

Undertaking a more flexible placement across the summer allows you to choose an experience that’s right for you.

We offer a broad range of opportunities across a wide range of countries. These include:

  • Summer Schools
  • internships and short-term work experience
  • volunteering
  • online experiential learning

We partner with many fantastic organisations who offer a range of experiences. Whether you’re interested in Sustainability, Community Building or Research and Exploration, there is an opportunity available for everyone.

An incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience. As cliché as it sounds, it is definitely one of the best decisions I have made during my time at university.
