How can I find a work placement abroad?

What you can do and when will depend on your degree programme — whether you have a placement integrated into your programme or you undertake an internship during the vacation. All placements abroad, including Professional Training Year (PTY) placements, Health Sciences placements, Vet EMS placements, MPhys placements and PGR placements need to be registered with the International Engagement Office. For details on how to register and links to the required documents, please click on the relevant placement type on our Surrey Abroad page.

Please see our Placements and work experience pages for guidance and resources to support you find an opportunity.
