What type of experiences are available?
We know that everyone is different and what’s right for one person, might not be a good ‘fit’ for someone else. That’s why we offer a broad range of Global Opportunities approved, short-term summer placements.
We work with our university partners and trusted external organisations to provide experiences including:
| Type of placement | What's included |
|---|---|
| Summer schools |
Improve our language learning, gain a new perspective on your academic area of study, or choose to do something totally different at a summer school with one of our partner universities. |
| Internships and short-term work experience | Build your CV in a sector that aligns with your career aspirations and interests while building your professional networks with one of our external partners |
| Volunteering |
Do something that changes lives and communities and help make a positive difference through our volunteering opportunities with one of our external partners |
| Online experiential learning | Its not always possible to travel during your studies, so we offer a range of virtual experiences. This is a great way to incorporate a global opportunity into your degree without leaving Newcastle! |
Supporting you
We know that the decision to undertake a global experience is an important one, especially if you haven’t lived abroad before. We encourage you to do your research before you apply to ensure that the opportunity is a good fit for you. Consider your personal circumstances, lifestyle, budget and expected learning outcomes.
Explore what’s on offer and make it a summer to remember.
