The Student

Career Interests

This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests. If these interests do not describe you, this course may prepare you for work you may not find satisfying.

Social

The Social person's interests focus on interacting with the people in their environment. In all cases, the Social person enjoys the personal contact with other people in preference to the impersonal dealings with things, data and ideas found in other groups.

Many will seek out positions where there is direct contact with the public in some advisory role, whether a receptionist or a counsellor. Social people are motivated by an interest in different types of people and like diversity in their work environments. Many are drawn towards careers in the caring professions and social welfare area, whilst others prefer teaching and other 'informing' roles.

Career Progression

Not only will the programme enable you to explore a new corner of the world but you will also develop many new life skills such as independent thinking and resilience while doing so.

Studying abroad will benefit both your personal and professional development, while also demonstrating to future employers that you are flexible, self-sufficient, culturally-aware and can think outside the box, all desirable traits in the modern educational professional.
