Why Study Abroad?
There is no question that you will come back a different person.
Studying abroad is a stimulating experience and highly prized by
employers. Employers are keen to recruit from RBS London because of
the value that studying abroad adds to our degree programmes
enabling our students to become flexible and experienced business
professionals.
Participating in a student exchange programme will allow you to
live and study overseas for a set period of time, normally 3-5
months. Add-on Internships (work experiences) may be possible,
depending on visa requirements and employment conditions.
Academically, you will face differences in learning and teaching
methods. You will have access to courses that complement your
degree but are often taught with a different perspective or are
more specialised. By taking them, you will broaden the scope of
your degree.
On a social level, you will be in an ideal position to meet
local students and other exchange students and therefore begin to
form international contacts through networking.
Professionally, you will increase your employment prospects
tremendously. Your RBS London transcript will indicate that you
participated in an exchange programme and thus bear testimony to
your ability to succeed in a foreign environment and in a different
academic system.

"Although I learnt something about European Culture in Mexico, I learnt so much more while on the Business Foundation Course. As well as benefiting my English, it also helped me to understand the European economy and the differences compared to where I come from. All the subjects help for the future and the quality of teaching is excellent."
