UK undergraduates planning to study or work abroad before September 2017: UCL Careers want to hear from you

10 August 2016

UCL Careers has teamed up with seven other UK universities to investigate the value of overseas experiences during university and are offering £20 in Amazon vouchers to students who participate.

International postgraduate students needed for focus groups: £10 Amazon voucher incentive

We will be examining what students hope to gain by studying and working overseas, and we'll assess how their experiences develop key skills that employer's value.

So how can you get involved?

As part of our research, we want to speak to current UCL undergraduates from the UK who are:

  • Studying abroad for the 2016/17 academic year, either for the whole year or one term or
  • Have plans to spend a short period between now and September 2017 working abroad. This could be a summer placement, a semester, or an entire year abroad.

Ideally, the students we interview should not have had any previous overseas work or study experience. We need to interview students for 30 minutes before and after their overseas experience. Each participant will receive a £20 Amazon voucher.

If you're interested in taking part, please email Sophia Donaldson, with the following information:

  • Year and subject of study
  • Nationality
  • Details of your upcoming overseas experience, including the dates
  • Details of any past overseas experiences (work or study).
