Global Graduate Package
In a global market place, international awareness is a key skill many employers value. Being internationally aware does not mean you have to travel and work abroad, although options are available if you choose to do this. Instead it can be about engaging with different cultures and expanding your knowledge while remaining in the UK. Activities for this package also include language taster classes, attending the Global Advantage Conference, befriending an international student, translating publications, studying, working or volunteering abroad and presenting at an international conference or event.
“My name is Lavina Hassasing and I am a Zambian student going into my 3rd year studying Maths with Management Science. In my 2nd year I got involved with two charity organisations – AIESEC and Stop AIDS – where I currently hold leadership positions. Over the summer, I travelled to Malaysia as part of AIESEC’s Work-Abroad-Program for a 6 week voluntary internship on promoting HIV/AIDS awareness in schools and universities. I was also involved in local AIESEC activities at the host university and travelled around the country and met some great people! Working abroad has been a positive experience, enlightening me to different cultures and ways of life. Being a part of these organisations has given me many opportunities to broaden my horizons and make my university experience a much more enjoyable and fulfilling one!”
