The Canadian and Australian Information Session took place on the 18th January 2023.
Interested in studying abroad in Australia or Canada? đ
Queenâs History and Politics student Isobel spent six months studying at the University of Newcastle in Australia.
She says: âI loved studying in Australia; I loved being submerged in the culture; the familiarity of the English language but the weather and environment was so different to anything that I had grown up with.â
Here are the top 3 takeaways to remember from this session:
You can study at the University of Alberta, Queenâs University Kingston (both Canada) or the University of Newcastle (Australia)
You can study for one semester or the full academic year
Applications close on 3rd February (through MyFuture)
Go Global Week is almost upon us. To get you in the mood, weâve rounded up five of the awe-inspiring places you can visit from Queenâs on a work or study abroad trip. Prepare to light up your âgram with #travel goals.
1.Canada
You’ll need your camera at the ready in beautiful Canada
You can spend a semester or a year studying in Canada, just like Queenâs Land Use and Environmental Management student Stuart Best.
âAs a student in Canada, I did lots of interesting group projects, and there are so many good opportunities to network and develop, as well as making lots of Canadian friends!â
âPeter King made a huge contribution to the peace process in Northern Ireland and is still extremely interested in Irish affairs. My work mainly consisted of taking calls from constituents, helping them with the issues they were having with federal agencies and discussing any concerns that they had. I would like to thank Congressman King and everyone else in the office for making my internship incredibly enjoyable. I would also like to thank everyone from Project Children for giving me the opportunity to have an unforgettable summer!â
If you want to combine work experience with adventure then Generation UK China could be the programme for you. You can spend your summer interning in industry across China, like History student David Keenan who spent last summer in Shanghai.
âFor any student wanting to internationalise their career, and travel to an exotic country over the summer, I strongly urge you to consider the Generation UK â China Internship Programme!,â says David.
Erasmus Study & Work Programme has opportunities all over Europe. Law student Megan Edwards spent a semester studying at Pazmany Peter Catholic University (PPKE) in Budapest. âStudying in Budapest, Hungary as part of the Erasmus programme was the greatest experience of my life, she says.
You can go as far afield as Australia from Queenâs and spend a year or a semester studying at the University of Newcastle in New South Wales. Check out their Instagram feed to see what your view of campus could look like!
