Global Opportunities Fair 2024
Thursday 7th November 2024, Medrus Mawr
Interested in spending time abroad as part of your studies at Aberystwyth University?
Every Aberystwyth University student gets an opportunity to study, work, or volunteer abroad.
Join the Global Opportunities Team on Thursday 7th November 10am – 4:30pm in Medrus Mawr to find out more about what opportunities are available from students who have already spent time abroad, and from students who are currently on exchange in Aberystwyth from our partner universities from all over the globe.
The Global Opportunities Team will also be available to let you know how it all works and provide you personalised advice on what opportunities are available specifically for you.
This event is open to all students and staff and will run throughout the day. Feel free to drop by between lectures or during your lunch hour and you’ll be sure to get a warm welcome.
