An internship or work placement abroad can give you valuable experience and open doors to new career opportunities around the world.
When to take an internship or work placement
You may be able to complete an internship, traineeship or work placement abroad as part of a module or your wider programme of study, if your course allows, and earn academic credit.
You can also take one independently outside of teaching time.
Where to find opportunities
You can find guidance on how to source international internships or work placements in the Global opportunities section on Blackboard.
If you’re looking for graduate opportunities abroad, you can:
- search current opportunities on CareerZone
- find roles through GoinGlobal
- email us at [email protected]
The Student Mobility Team can’t provide, arrange or directly facilitate work opportunities abroad, but you can explore opportunities through our recommended resources.
Once you've secured an opportunity
If you're taking the internship or work placement as part of your course, contact your College Placement Officer for the next steps.
If you're taking it outside of your studies, get in touch with our Student Mobility Team via the Student Centre.
Funding for your experience
If you're a current student planning an internship, traineeship or work placement abroad, you may be eligible for funding via the Turing Scheme.
