We are delighted to invite Kent students to apply for this year’s Global Officers Leadership Development (GOLD) Programme. The programme is a co-curricular venture, designed to fit around your academic studies. It provides a framework of activities for globally-minded undergraduate students at Kent to develop their leadership skills, global citizenship and cultural awareness.
There are 5 components which can be completed throughout the academic year. Benefits include:
- Employability Points awarded per activity
- Certificate of recognition and personal reference from the Dean for Internationalisation
- Recognition on your Higher Education Achievement Report
- Practical event & project management experience
- A chance for you to record your international skill development in the Kent Global Passport.
This programme is also offered as a credit-bearing ‘wild’ module, GOLD500.
For further details please see our website.
Deadline to apply is midnight, 11th October, 2020.
(If considering taking this as a wild module, usual module registration deadline applies).
What past students have said:
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’t get when you join a society.

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.
