Ready for the world? Global opportunities

Slide 1: Ready for the World

Hello, my name is Helena Anderson and I am a Global Opportunities officer here at Aberystwyth University.

Slide 2: Have you thought about Studying, Working or Volunteering Abroad?

Have you ever thought about studying, working or volunteering abroad as part of your degree? It's OK if you haven't, but there's lots of good reasons why you should. You'll gain new skills and life experience, it'll look great on your CV, you'll meet new people an make new friends and you will make unforgettable memories.

Slide 3: Funded opportunities are available from as few as three days to a whole academic year, to destinations worldwide

The best bit is that we have funding available to make it happen. Thanks to new Welsh and UK government grants, as well as a donation from a generous Aberystwyth alumnus, there is funding available for placements from three days to a full academic year in length, to countries all around the world.

Slide 4: Study, Volunteer and Work Abroad Options

Now, which opportunity is right for you depends on what degree you are studying and what year you are currently in, but there is an opportunity available for every Aberystwyth student.

The slide shows options for Short Programmes, Summer Schools, Semester Abroad, Year Abroad and Graduate Placement. There are ticks which indicate the years that these could apply to.
