Global You

Summer Opportunities Fair 2019

At York we aim to provide every student with an opportunity to gain an international experience. Not only will it enrich your educational experience, it will prepare you for a career in a competitive and global job market.

Why go abroad?

Going abroad by taking advantage of one of our opportunities below will help you to:

  • broaden your cultural and social perspectives,
  • stand out from the crowd (less than 7 per cent of UK students have studied abroad),
  • enhance your employability,
  • boost your self-confidence, independence and ambition,
  • conquer challenges, solve problems and discover new strengths and abilities,
  • develop your language and communication skills, and
  • build up your personal and professional networks.

Can I get funding?

There are various grants and scholarships available to help fund your time abroad.
