How do I apply?

You will need to complete this expression of interest form.

After expressing your interest, you will receive further updates about the programme and be asked to complete an application form. Please note that you must upload a Europass CV to enable correct matching with our foreign partners, we will then shortlist people for interviews conducted by a member of our team and our partners.

Successful applicants will be notified soon after their interview. Learning agreements will then need to be signed, formalising your commitment. In some cases, foreign hosts may like to chat with you before taking you on placement. 


Travel Arrangements

All learners (apart from graduates) will be staying on a full board basis with breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. This will either be at a hotel, or at a student residence.

Students normally stay in double or triple rooms, depending on venue. Any travel costs will be covered i.e. flights and transfers.

Students will be accompanied by two staff members for the duration of the programme. The same board basis applies to them, and all flights and transfers are paid. 

If you require any support with personal finance whilst on the trip, please make us aware during the application process.


Health and Safety

Ensuring you experience such a fantastic opportunity safely is one of our top priorities.

Whilst on placement, you will have available staff as points of contacts who will be shared with you before your placement begins. These staff act as your key point of contact while you are away.

Dates and times of flights are subject to change around travel guidance; if guidelines change whilst you are abroad, including the need to return home, then this is covered by College Travel Insurance.

If you have any special dietary requirements or medical requirements, please declare them ahead of time.
