International opportunities

More students than ever understand the importance of international experience and employers are increasingly interested in students who have global awareness.

STUDENTS who take part in international opportunities reap the academic, professional and personal benefits of an international experience for future employment in the UK and overseas.

Studying or working abroad plus international activities at home, give you the opportunity to see more of the world and experience a different style of education. You may also be able to learn a new language and get to know another culture. At Salford, we are here to help you make this happen.

EUROPEAN EXCHANGE

Our European Exchange programme is for you if you are interested in studying or potentially pursuing a work contract or traineeship within Europe. We have many fantastic partner institutions all over Europe, as well as many industry links. If you have the option to undertake a work placement as a part of your degree, you may be able to do this through the European Exchange programme. Visit salford. ac.uk/international-opportunities/ourpartnerships for information on our current partners.

Please be aware, European study and work opportunities are subject to change. We will take part in the Erasmus+ programme until May 2023. The UK government has proposed a new mobility programme, the Turing Scheme, which will fund mobility in both Europe and further afield. Details of this programme are still to be confirmed at the time of production.

We will continue to work closely with European partners to ensure that students from all programmes have study opportunities, where applicable to their programme. Work opportunities will continue now that the UK has left the European Union, however are now subject to additional immigration requirements.

We encourage all students to take part in international opportunities where possible, either via study and/or work opportunities or internationalisation at home activities.

SHORT TERM OPPORTUNITIES

In addition to the International and European Exchange programmes, we regularly promote short term opportunities via third parties. In the past, our students have taken part in research projects or internships organised by, for example, the British Council and the Canadian MITACS programme mitacs.ca/en/programs/globalink.

These opportunities are often either partially or fully funded and offer you the chance to gain valuable work experience that will make your

INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE

If you want to venture further than Europe for a study exchange, our International Exchange programme is for you. With partners in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, South Korea and the USA, you have the incredible opportunity to visit some fantastic places, while taking advantage of the great facilities our partner institutions offer.

For both the European and International Exchange programmes, money needn’t be a barrier if you are considering going abroad. You continue to pay your usual tuition fees to the University, and you are still entitled to your student finance.

Studying abroad is a fantastic opportunity for you to develop yourself both personally and professionally, while making new friends from across the globe and acquiring skills that are attractive to potential employers.
