The Study and Work Away Service provides administrative support to students and staff participating in a broad range of Go Abroad activities.
Social media
We post regularly about our opportunities for going abroad on our Facebook page. Like and follow for application deadlines, new opportunities and helpful tips on applying and going abroad.
We also run a Facebook group. This group is a hub for past, present and future students to network and share in their experience of studying abroad on exchange. This is where you can find out about the application process and get advice from other students on your destination, accommodation, finances and much more!
