We are now three weeks away from GoGlobal: Week6 starting Monday 2nd March.
We have designed a set of activities for you. Week 6 features activities tailored for you to explore international opportunities, and some events will be shared with other faculties.
What you need to know:
- You MUST book events for the GoGlobal week. Please note there are limited spaces in each activity. Use the links below to the events you are interested in. It is great to see so many bookings already.
- This is for ALL students at all levels of study.
- If you are an **International student**, you know your attendance must be monitored each week carefully: For this week, you must participate and complete a minimum of four activities, Three MUST BE ON CAMPUS or one of the physical visits off-campus.
- If you are a year 1 or 2 undergraduate student and you want to apply for a fully funded GoGlobal: Mobility visit, an example can be read about here, then you must complete four activities – you can select any activity and more than one can be the Forage virtual work experience. We will use Rise to check your completion.
Why should I attend Week 6?
- Enhance your global career readiness as part of your degree: featured sessions at Week 6 include keynote talks, workshops, short courses, and much more to support your career planning, help you move forward and get you where you want to be. We will highlight new opportunities over the next couple of weeks.
Activities open to you (please note these will change over the next few weeks due to new additions and also the closure of some activities when they reach capacity, so please check your weekly email for updates.)
