It has been a busy year for York’s Study Abroad Office. We have launched our Global York brand for the range of international opportunities open to York students, moved into our new headquarters in Derwent College, and have developed new agreements for student exchange with Rhodes University in South Africa, Seoul National University in South Korea, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and University of British Columbia.
With the New Year comes new opportunities - We have 10-month job opening in 2012 for an office administrator – follow the link below for the job details , and we’re moving the University’s Visiting Student programme into the Study Abroad Office.

This week we interview for our highly competitive worldwide exchange schemes. Students from York have the chance to spend their second or third year at universities in the United States, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. A year abroad as part of your study can build self-confidence, widen your horizons and give you a global perspective. All of these things can make you highly employable after graduation.
We’re also planning next year’s Erasmus exchanges, where York students exchange with students from European universities for up to a year. And we’re thrilled that this year’s UK Erasmus Essay competition prize-winner was Ben Charig, who studied Maths and Physics in Erlangen. Read Ben’s winning entry - http://competition.lifelonglearningprogramme.org.uk/erasmus/
If you’re interested in what Global York has to offer York students, come and see us in Derwent College – our new office is just off the foyer.
