International Work Experience

Why Work Abroad?

Working Abroad provides an opportunity to spend part of your undergraduate degree gaining experience with an international employer while building valuable global business networks.

Employers increasingly seek graduates with strong cultural awareness, adaptability, and an understanding of global business practices. International work experience enables you to develop these highly transferable skills, significantly enhancing your employability.

By working overseas and engaging with diverse environments, cultures, and organisations, you will strengthen both your technical and professional capabilities. More importantly, you will be able to demonstrate to future employers that you are resilient, independent, and adaptable—qualities that make you a valuable addition to any organisation.
