Go Global with Swansea University
As a Swansea University student, there are many options available for you to gain international experience. Have you ever considered studying abroad for a year as part of your degree? Or perhaps spending some of the summer on a volunteering programme or internship abroad? Follow the links below to search the variety of options available to you, depending on the course you are studying.
Funding for international opportunities may be offered through the Taith programme (funded by the Welsh government) or Turing programme (funded through the UK government)
Summer Abroad Opportunities
Summer abroad opportunities are a fantastic way to gain cultural and international experience in addition to your studies. Programmes typically range from 2 - 9 weeks and provide you with the chance to gain cultural, volunteering and/or academic experience in another country. Generous funding is available via the Turing or Taith programmes to cover some of the associated costs and additional support is available for any students who meet widening participation criteria. Funding is limited.
Please note, students need to be enrolled at Swansea University throughout the entire summer programme period therefore final year students and exchange students are not eligible for these programmes.
