Experiencing such a stay abroad means:

• Exploring a different environment and learning about a new culture,
• Expanding your international network by meeting new people,
• Improving your language skills,
• Overcoming academic and practical challenges,
• Strengthening your CV.

A survey revealed that 64% of employers consider international experience a recruitment factor. What's more, 92% of employers are looking for cross-disciplinary skills such as those acquired through mobility (openness, curiosity, problem-solving, decision-making, self-confidence).

Destinations
