Every journey starts with a single step, take yours with the Global Experience Bursary. Undertake short-term study, research, work, or volunteering opportunities abroad.

Open to all students including postgraduate and final-year students, the Global Experience Bursary (GEB) ensures that everyone can receive support to take part in an international experience.  

Why go global for a short-term experience?

Beyond the opportunity to see the world, working and studying abroad helps you gain skills such as confidence, resilience and adaptability - all while fitting your global experience around your current commitments.  

And that's not all. Participating in a short-term global experience enhances your CV, setting you apart from other candidates. Not to mention the invaluable lessons in cultural immersion and understanding, forging life-long friendships and creating unforgettable memories.

Last summer, our adventurous students undertook opportunities in over 40 different countries, across six continents. From volunteering in the heart of Fiji and Nepal to hands-on clinical placements in sunny Malta. The opportunities were endless!

“Throughout my journey, I engaged with diverse individuals and learned about a wide range of cultures, perspectives, and ideas. This experience has not only broadened my horizons, but also taught me the value of open-mindedness and empathy. I had the opportunity to collaborate on projects that required interdisciplinary thinking, enhancing my problem-solving skills and creativity. My journey has been a continuous path of learning that has shaped me into a more well-rounded individual, better prepared to contribute positively to both academic and real-world scenarios.”
