Expand your international skills and experience at home and abroad
Intercultural Training 1 2 3 Before you go abroad During your time abroad When you return Intercultural Awareness Workshop + 3 short, online modules Online reflective exercises to help you learn from your experiences Workshop: Articulating your intercultural competency to employers
What students are saying It was so much more enriching than I expected! I will use it on my year abroad in Paris and when I talk about employment skills. I m definitely going to do the whole programme! I thoroughly enjoyed the programme - not only has it been very insightful but also very practical and well worth doing. Will definitely recommend to others. There are many different cultures at Warwick and across the UK so the skills here are useful even if you are not going abroad.
