Go Global Week

Go Global Week 2023 will run from 09 - 13 October

Once a year we host Go Global Week in October where we run a series of in-person workshops, where you get to chat to organisations that can offer you an experience of a lifetime to study, work or volunteer abroad during your degree.

The highlight of Go Global Week is our Go Global Fair which this year will take place on 11 October 2023 from 12 noon to 3pm in the Mandela Hall in One Elmwood.

We also host a Go Global Mini Fair in February each year.

Keep an eye on the website and our Careers Events page for date updates!

The adventure starts here!
