Employers today are finding it harder and harder to distinguish between university graduates. Working overseas will give you a point of difference from over 120,000 other graduates who complete a sandwich degree in the UK and Ireland each year. Incorporating travel, culture, and practical, hands-on work experience, your time in Australia or New Zealand will not only make your CV stand out to employers but also, more importantly, will give you the life skills to shine in a job interview.

Doing an internship or work placement abroad is a way of having the whole travelling, gap year experience – and getting a head start on your career or future studies at the same time.

In the business world and the public sector there is an ever-increasing need for people who can develop new products in international and cross-cultural teams. Chances are that you will be asked to travel or even move abroad with your future employer in the UK. Why not gain the skills and experience now so you can put your hand up with confidence in the future.
