Working Abroad

Many of our students and graduates travel abroad for casual work, placements, voluntary work or permanent relocation.

If you are considering working abroad or you are an international student returning home, remember that the type of work available, methods of finding work and application styles will vary from country to country. You should also consider practical issues such as language and cultural differences, accommodation and your eligibility to work in your chosen country.
