Travel to another university with the support of Go Global to gain research experience in a structured, supported environment
Students source research placements independently at a recognized university or research institute under the supervision of a host academic. While away, students build an international network of academics in their research area. There is no set time frame or deadline for planning and doing research abroad; however, it's recommended that students begin preparing 3 to 6 months in advance of anticipated departure.
These opportunities are available to students to apply to directly with no support from Go Global. Any questions related to these opportunities should be directed to the organizer of the program. Some of these programs meet the eligibility requirements for Go Global's Self-Directed Research Abroad Award and successful participants of these programs are encouraged to apply.
