Find out what our students have to say about their time studying and working abroad.
Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons)
I spent my second year studying at Seoul National University in South Korea. This was an unforgettable and valuable learning experience, and certainly one of the most exciting and rewarding years of my life.
International Hospitality and Tourism Management
My exchange semester in Hong Kong has been one of the most rich and amazing experiences in my life. I have learnt a lot, not only in terms of academic studies, but also about building personal connections and different cultures.
BEng Electronics and Computer Engineering
A year abroad challenges you to push yourself out of your comfort zone, personally, professionally and even culturally - you have to throw yourself into things you’ve never done before.
International Business Management
Hong Kong was a real gift. Not only did I celebrate my birthday there but I did so with new found friends from all over the world.
My time in Australia was one of the best experiences of my life, not only did I learn lots through my studies and about other cultures, I also learnt a lot about myself as a person.
BSc Business Management
I would highly recommend going on exchange to New Zealand (or anywhere!), as you will meet many amazing people, and create many more amazing memories with them.
Business Management
For anyone who is thinking about studying abroad—do it. Explore new places, learn about new cultures, and let your mind grow.
International Hospitality Management
From the breath-taking views in the Grampians to Philipp Island, full of tiny penguins passing by beautiful surf beaches, you don’t remember what boredom is.
Modern Languages (French and Spanish)
On my first placement in Chambéry I was an assistant to the commercial director of a holiday company. The highlights were doing two weeks on a “mini-stage” (a “mini-internship”) in the Alps as it was amazing to see the mountains and to live and work somewhere with constant snow.
Business Management and Spanish BSc (Hons)
My time at Surrey has improved my chances of employability immensely. The beauty about Surrey is that they prioritise both academic and professional development, as most courses offer some sort of placement year, and really set you up for professional life once you graduate.
Nursing Studies (Registered Nurse Adult Nursing) BSc (Hons)
I went to Stavanger, Norway, working as a student nurse on a ward caring for patients requiring treatment and care related to drug and alcohol misuse.
Modern Languages (French with German) BA (Hons)
I worked as a Teaching Assistant in Germany, where my work involved helping students (aged 10 to 18) in their English lessons, and presenting cultural topics.
Music
Living and studying in another country has been the best experience of my life.
International Event Management
Studying at University of Central Florida is the most valuable experience I have.
I went on exchange to NCSU; I made some incredible friends, that became like a second family during my time there.
I studied in United States of America for a semester in NC State University. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity as I gained a lot of exposure and worked a lot on my personal growth.
