Why do it?

More and more UK students are choosing to study abroad for part or all of their degree. It can be really rewarding - you’ll broaden your horizons, build an international network of friends, boost your employability and get a great education.

You may even find courses and degrees that are cheaper than similar ones at home - yet you’ll still find outstanding teaching and world-class facilities. So it’s no surprise that thousands of UK students are choosing an international education.

Whether you want to study in another language, teach English as a language assistant, or you prefer to enrol on a programme that’s taught in English, it’s going to be an invaluable experience. Employers in the UK and around the world agree that they see people as more employable if they have overseas experience.

And if you do spend your time working or studying in another language, you’ll be adding a great asset to your CV. Being fluent in another language can give you an edge in the competitive global job market - employers know that as well as the educational benefits, you’ll have experienced significant personal growth and development.
