Summer Opportunities
Get the most out of your degree by studying, working or conducting research abroad.
Why Summer opportunities?
Summer schools/work placements make for the perfect opportunity to utilize your summer holiday enriching yourself in a new culture by making new friends, learning new skills that match your degree program, and international exploration.
Students often choose to attend summer schools to obtain a broader understanding of the field they are studying outside of set term-time. And Work placements to give them a competitive edge in the jobs market whilst creating an international network for themselves.
As an independent venture, students can often feel overwhelmed by the opportunities available to them. Our hope at BSU Go Global is to support you, the student, in finding the best opportunity to meet your needs, provide tips, and guidance around finding financial support for your endeavors abroad.
Funding your trip:
There are many different opportunities for funding your time abroad.
From the Turing Fund to the International Travel Award, we have plenty of options for you to receive grants, bursaries, and scholarships to help get you to where you want to go. For more information, see our Scholarships and Bursaries page.
Finding the right opportunity:
Some of our Partner Universities do offer summer schools with special offers or discounts for BSU students. You can utilize the drop-down menu below to review some of BSU’s Partner programs, work placements, and independently sourced international ventures.
Summer opportunities are not managed by Go Global. It's each student's responsibility to apply directly and request all information for the programme they are interested in from the host. Go Global is here to support you through this process and to guide your through certain financial aspects.
Additionally, you can look for jobs on Student Circus - UK Visa Sponsor Jobs for International Students (use your BSU credentials) and MyCareer.
Reach out to your academic advisor or the Go Global team (BSUexchange@bathspa.ac.uk) for additional support if needed.
Practicalities and Tips:
When choosing a summer school to attend, it is important to consider some areas prior to applying for a program:
- What do you want to study?
- Where would you like to go?
- What are the Language requirements?
- Are there age restrictions?
- Does the semester align with my current studies?
- What do I need to prepare before I go (Visa, misc. funding, etc.)?
Understanding the risks and practicalities involved with traveling internationally is important for your not only your safety, but also so that you can receive the most from your placement.
Further support:
Speak to Go Global, and your course leader to discuss options, ideas, and potential resources. If you have home supports (friends, family), be sure to keep in contact with them. They can provide extra emotional support and even potential narrowing of ideas to support your future in summer programs. Additionally, as a student of BSU you have continued access to Wellbeing services during your time away.
