The GoGlobal Fund is an initiative encouraging students to broaden their horizons and enhance their employability taking part in international activity while studying with us. The Fund aims to increase the number of students, especially those from under-represented groups and from less-advantaged backgrounds, who participate in mobility abroad.
Students can receive one GoGlobal award once in an academic year to take part in:
- study visits, field trips and other course-related opportunities abroad which are at least five days long and are not already funded by an academic programme;
- short-term opportunities abroad such as internships, volunteering or summer work abroad, which are at least two weeks long;
- Semester- or year-long study exchanges or work placements abroad which are not fully supported by other means.
In order to increase the number of students from widening participation group taking part in mobility, we encourage academic staff to develop opportunities for their students.
