The increase in the number of people gaining undergraduate and postgraduate degrees has made the best jobs very competitive. One way to get ahead and ensure good employment prospects is by completing a degree at an overseas university. You will be one step ahead as employers see the invaluable overseas and cultural experience that you have gained by studying overseas. Those with overseas qualifications are true members of the global village.

For those that choose to go to overseas universities that allow international students to work will gain invaluable overseas work experience. Students that go to Canada, Australia and New Zealand to study will be entitled to work permits on completion of their degree, a wonderful opportunity to gain overseas work experience.

“Anglo American values greatly international experience in the students whom we recruit. An individual with a track record of different cultures, different working methodologies and different life experiences almost inevitably displays greater cross-cultural sensitivity and greater adaptability which means that recruiting them is lower risk and they make a positive contribution more quickly.”

“Given the globalised environment in which we operate, we are looking for people with an international perspective. We are very focused on increasing mobility within our organization as we see this as being an invaluable experience and one which can only benefit our organization and our people in the longer term.”
