As leaders in mobility, we work with you to tailor your international experience depending on your study major or geographic interest around the world*. You can even apply your knowledge to real-world scenarios by gaining professional experience through an internship. Spend time immersing yourself in organisations including NGOs, agencies and private sector corporations and arm yourself with skills that prepare you for the industry.
