I was able to choose from a wide variety of well-recognised partner universities from around the world to undertake my year, adding value to my education.<\/p>\n<p>I greatly appreciated having being assigned to a personal tutor and as well as a study abroad tutor during the course. It gave me the opportunity to attain advice of the both tutors during my university selection and modules selection process. They also assisted in any challenges I faced while studying abroad and most importantly during the application process. The structure of the application process was invaluable to me as it gave me the experience and prepared me to face the application processes of Internships and Graduate positions that are structured very similar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/MG_8315.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-184 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/MG_8315-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_8315\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/MG_8315-240x300.jpg 240w, http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/MG_8315.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 85vw, 240px\" \/><\/a>Having to achieve an average grade of 60% to be eligible to participate in the study abroad year has really highlighted my commitment to program, which impressed my Internship employer and resulted in potential employers being interested in my skills. This goal also ensure that I was well suited to undertake the modules that were offered by the foreign university and was able to maintain a high academic performance during the year.<br \/>\nI have now been given the opportunity to share my experiences whilst studying abroad through open day events, writing blog posts and interacting with potential study abroad students.
