STUDY ABROAD
Opportunities
Last month’s Go Global Week focusing on work and study and volunteering abroad opportunities took place from 06-09 October within One Elmwood and was a great success with six events and four pop up stands. There were 722 Queen’s students in attendance across all events during Go Global Week, with some great insights shared by our Global Opportunities Team and Go Global Partners and Go Global Student Ambassadors throughout the week. There are more Global Opportunities open to our Queen’s students throughout the year.
