1. Do some research. Read the Go Global Handbook to find out where you can go abroad, what funding is available, and how the process works. Ask other students about their experiences going abroad. Research the programme you are interested in joining.
2. Talk to your personal tutor. Ask if a semester abroad will fit into your degree or whether a summer opportunity may be a better fit. Ask if they have any group trips planned.
3. Contact the Outward Mobility Officer (michaella.batten@uwtsd.ac.uk) with any questions.

1. Make sure you have a current passport. You will need this to make your visa application, so apply for one as soon as you can
