Global Graduates: encourage our students to apply

21 Feb 2023

Creating opportunities for Widening Participation students

Global Graduates

After two years of running remotely, the Careers Service flagship overseas programme, Global Graduates, is due to go ahead this summer.

The exciting partnership project between the University and Division of Development and Alumni Relations will see a group of students spend an all-expenses paid week in either New York, Boston, San Francisco, Dubai, Zurich, London, Singapore, or Hong Kong, to meet with Manchester alumni based in the city. 

Lydia Stroud, a Global Graduates participant says: "The Programme has massively increased my confidence, both in my ability to voice my views but also confidence in my own professional abilities. I can say without doubt that this opportunity will be one of my absolute highlights of my time at Manchester, I think it is such an amazing Programme and has taught me so much about myself and what my career may look like."

Global Graduates is aimed at students who are from a widening participation background in a bid to rebalance the range of experiences available to those where self-funded work experience, gap years, and travel is far less common.

This opportunity will also give students the chance to gain valuable skills, develop their global network and enhance their employability.
