Going Abroad Again

Now that you're back in North America, chances are pretty good that you're itching to get traveling again. From working abroad in Australia to earning your Master's Degree in Scotland, your opportunities are truly endless!  Below is a summary of some options to inspire your next journey abroad.

For many, studying abroad is addictive and one country just isn't enough. More and more students are extending their time abroad by studying abroad in multiple countries. For example, if you have just spent a semester in Australia, you could spend a summer abroad in Scotland next year. Or if you studied for a summer or January-term in New Zeland, maybe you're ready to go abroad for a full semester or year in Thailand. Whatever your ideal combination, we are excited to help you make it happen.

After going abroad, most students never view their education the same way again. Such a powerful experience often influences further educational endeavors, including the decision to pursue higher degrees. Did you know you can earn your full degree from another country? It's true, and earning a degree abroad is growing in popularity every year as students and academic professionals alike continue to realize the power of international study and research. GlobaLinks Learning Abroad offers all the essential services for enrolling in graduater school overseas and earning a degree abroad.

Restoration projects, literacy campaigns, and teaching English are just a few examples of the many different volunteer programs abroad. Some programs charge a fee and provide services such as insurance coverage, meals and even housing. Some provide free room and board in exchange for your work, and others pay a small stipend. Volunteer work opportunities may range from a few weeks in length to two or three years in duration.

There are many opportunities to teach abroad through established programs. Most programs prefer a commitment of one academic year, though some offer summer or semester possibilities. In general, a Bachelor’s degree is required while often some programs may also require U.S. or Canadian teaching certification. Volunteer and paid teaching opportunities can be found throughout the world.

Teaching internships are available in Australia and New Zealand through GlobaLinks Learning Abroad. These internships are extraordinary opportunities for Education majors to complete the student teaching
