At Newman we believe offering students an international dimension to their studies is important to their personal, academic and professional development. Students are able to study or work abroad as part of their course in Europe and further afield in places like The Gambia and India. There are new exciting opportunities arising all the time through the Erasmus programme and links worldwide.
In an ever changing global world, there are many benefits to studying or working in another country. Here are just a few:
-
Stand out from the crowd – whatever career you choose after university, having international experience on your CV will help you stand out from the competition.
- Life skills – while living abroad you will gain skills that can’t be taught in the classroom.
- International perspective - discover a different culture and way of life, perhaps even pick up a foreign language while you are there.
-
Travel – escape the rain and visit exciting new places.
-
Fun - meet lots of interesting people and have a good time!
As part of your degree course, Newman gives you the possibility to broaden your horizons and gain academic recognition.
For more information contact the International Co-ordinator who is available to offer one-to-one advice to students interested in going abroad. Look at the placement opportunities currently available throughout Europe and worldwide.
At Newman, we also offer our full support and encourage students to take their work placement in countries where even though there is no Newman link, students have family or friends or a genuine interest to visit…….the possibilities are endless!
