Teaching abroad is a great way of doing voluntary work or getting paid to see the world.  Some counties will expect you to have some kind of teaching qualification, whereas others may employ you without it. See our Teach abroad information (link below) about teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). 

You can work as a volunteer all over the world. There are a wide range of opportunities in a diverse range of areas from conservation and the environment, education and arts to support for children and families. Projects can last from a week to several years. 

There are many opportunities available for graduates overseas.  You will need to consider the type of work you are interested in, the countries you would like to work in, the pay and whether you require a visa. The country specific information on the Prospects website can provide a good starting point.

There are opportunities abroad for researchers in academic research and in non-academic positions.

Loughborough University is part of the Erasmus scheme, a European Union exchange programme which provides students with the opportunity to study abroad at other European Universities as part of their course.  The University also has a limited number of student exchange places with other international institutional partners in Australia, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan and the USA.  Have a look at the Erasmus and International Exchanges pages for further information.
