'Valuing the Year Abroad' position statement

The British Academy and UCML are calling on Government to seek ways of minimising the financial disincentives involved in an extra year’s study. In a joint position statement, Valuing the Year Abroad, launched yesterday (Tuesday 27th March 2012) they also call on Government and Universities to recognise the strategic importance of the year abroad – delivering both competitive employability advantages for the students themselves and wider long term benefits for the whole UK economy.
