After being abroad - what next?
Having been abroad and become an 'Alumnus' of a global opportunity, there are lots of ways in which you can translate the experience you have gained into the next phase of your life, be it work, study or personal interests.

GO Alumni
Congratulations on having undertaken a Global Opportunity. The following pages are intended help students to:

Further Degrees
Many students who have gone on a global opportunity go on do to a further international degree after graduating at Durham. Click here for a miniguide.
