A World of Opportunities and Experiences
Every student studying at Stranmillis has the opportunity to undertake a life changing international experience. The opportunity to study abroad, volunteer overseas or undertake an international placement is a once in a lifetime opportunity – full of enjoyable, rewarding and enriching experiences, both academically and personally.
Check out some of the experiences our students have enjoyed on Erasmus, Study USA or as a British Council Language Assistant below.
