LAUREN OLVER WORK EXPERIENCE, SRI LANKA —

It motivated me to ask more questions on a daily basis and be more aware of how my actions can make a difference. From the profession I choose to the people I meet, and how these actions can benefit my overall understanding of myself…I loved every experience the course has given me and the support the staff and lecturers gave me to further my curiosity.

Why study abroad?

Taking a trip abroad is one of the most valuable experiences you can have in your undergraduate career. It is not only the adventure of a lifetime; students who go abroad get better grades, earn higher degrees, and are more likely to gain employment after graduation according to research by Universities UK. The Go Global team provide opportunities to study, work, and undertake research worldwide throughout your time at the University. They are here to provide support from start to finish.

Study abroad Semester abroad with Erasmus+ and Exchange We have a number of partner universities across the world. During your second year as an Undergraduate student, you could spend one semester studying at one of them.

You can study in Europe as part of the Erasmus+ programme or overseas in an International Exchange. Doing a semester abroad is an excellent opportunity to experience education in a different country, immerse yourself in a new culture, and learn a new language.

TO BE ELIGIBLE YOU NEED TO...

• • •

achieve a 2:1 average grade in your first year of Undergraduate studies, apply by 31 January 2019 to be able to study abroad for one semester in your second year of Undergraduate degree, apply for the same or a similar subject at our partner university that you’re studying at Bath Spa.

thehub.bathspa.ac.uk/semesterabroad

12

What support is available to me?

Do I need to speak another language?

Will the placement impact my final grade?

To help you with the process, our Go Global team will: • provide you with semesteronly accommodation during your second year at Bath Spa University, • offer pre-departure and returners sessions, • offer continuous one-to-one coaching and advice, should you need it.

Most partner universities teach in English. However, in some countries, such as Mexico, Japan and Taiwan you’ll be expected to have some knowledge of the language.

Additional language classes are usually provided by our partner universities.

The placement will not impact on your final grade, however, students who go abroad are more likely to earn higher degrees. You’ll need to complete the equivalent of 60 Bath Spa University credits during your semester abroad, but no actual grades will be transferred – the placement is pass or fail.

HANNAH THORPE WORK EXPERIENCE, NEW YORK CITY —

Being a part of the Global Citizenship program has shaped my time at university and has created so many different possibilities that would have never been an option without it.

Global Acadamy of Liberal Arts GALA The Global Academy of Liberal Arts (GALA) was established

by Bath Spa University in 2014. Since then, we have supported dozens of students —both undergraduate and postgraduate — to visit GALA partners for placements, summer schools, field trips and conferences.

GALA is a community of universities from across the world that collaborate on teaching and research, and provide extra opportunities for students to visit other institutions. This network is also interested in thinking what the ‘liberal arts’ mean for universities in a global context. www.gala.network @gala_network @gala_network

Global Citizenship DEADLINE If you’re interested in global issues, such as the global economy and politics, aid and development, sustainability, other countries and cultures, and international business, then The Certificate in Global Citizenship is for you.

It’s an extra-curricular course that you can take alongside your degree for all three years of your undergraduate studies. You don’t need to have any background experience, just enthusiasm and interest in developing your understanding and building your skills as a global citizen.

The Certificate is awarded in addition to your degree. You start in your first year, and it does not change your degree title or your final results. Rather, The Certificate complements your studies by adding an international, interdisciplinary perspective to your studies which will build your confidence, transferable skills and make your CV stand out from the crowd. bathspa.ac.uk/courses/intl-global-citizenship
