Both will develop your employability and leadership potential, as well as help you plan for your career. 

What’s more, our international work placement scheme will help boost your job prospects – with graduates going on to work for global brands such as Samsung, KPMG and Disney. Further examples of recent graduate progression from this course include a selling partner at John Lewis, a graduate management trainee at Taylor Wimpey Homes, a personal banker at global financial organisation Citibank and a digital marketing specialist at international communications agency Ogilvy. 

Alternatively, a study year abroad will not only give you international awareness and enhance your CV but also increase your confidence and personal development. We have well-developed links with highly-respected institutions in Europe, North America, Mexico, Hong Kong and many other countries, opening a world of opportunities.
