What past students have said:<\/p>\n

“I would highly recommend this programme to any student who is globally minded and wants to be more active on campus, as well as wanting to learn new skills that you don\u2019t get when you join a society.”<\/p>\n

Preena Dodhia, BSc Biomedical Science<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I thoroughly enjoyed my participation in the GOLD programme, not only do I think that it has allowed me to develop skills that have strengthened my employability, I also found the programme to be an important avenue for expression during an intense final year of study. I would recommend the GOLD programme to any student that is interested in further developing themselves personally and professionally.”<\/p>\n

Leo Harris, BA History and Spanish<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The GOLD programme is a GREAT opportunity for anyone looking to place themselves out of their comfort zone, gain skills and meet like-minded people. It gave me the chance to develop new interests and connect to other programmes and opportunities with international universities, all of which can be utilised in my search for a job after university. I have made amazing friends who I will keep in touch with, and felt like I have extended my year abroad experience in the comfort of Kent, keeping my passion for understanding\u00a0cultures alive! I would recommend GOLD to all Kent students with an interest in the international and encourage you to put yourself out there.”<\/p>\n
