Go Abroad Staff

Go Abroad for Staff provides support and funding for academic and non-academic staff to go abroad on short teaching or training visits.

It's a great way to pick up new ideas and practices, develop skills in your field, and to build and develop international relationships. The knowledge and experience gained can help your own personal and professional development, enhance your networks and benefit your team by sharing best practices.
