What to expect
These global experiences are often ‘packaged’. This means that accommodation, in-country transport, excursions and some meals are included in the price. Make sure to check exactly what's included and what you will need to organise yourself. The duration of the trips vary from 2 - 12 weeks.
How to apply
You can apply for programmes as soon as you feel ready to commit, however there is no rush. Make sure to follow the below guidance:
- Do your research. Be sure to check the schedule, location and duration
- Consider how you will fund your trip - research the scholarships available and review your own finances
- Find out more. Attend a partner information session or contact the GO team
- Apply. You must apply directly to the individual partner for your place on a programme. Each opportunity has a different application process and deadline date so make sure you're aware of the requirements
- Confirm your place. All students must register participation on Terra Dotta, our online placement management system.
