Dreaming of a summer adventure?

Go Global with UoB

Are you thinking about working, volunteering, studying or learning a new language abroad? We’ve got you covered with exciting short-term international opportunities for this summer.

Head down to the Go Global Summer Fair on Wednesday 21 January 2026 from 13:00 to 16:00 in the Debating Hall, 1st floor, Guild of Students. You’ll have the chance to chat to the Go Global team about funding options, how to get you started, and what adventures are available around the world.

You can chose from a variety of short-term experiences: academic summer schools, language courses, research placements, volunteering or internships. They're open to all year groups, including final year students. You can also sign up for the Go Global Summer 2026 canvas course. Just remember applications close on 8 February 2026.
