Study Abroad

What is Study Abroad?

GCTU’s study abroad programme is a great opportunity for students and professionals to live in another country communicate through cultures, network with other students and business professionals to broaden your horizon in an increasingly global world.
Studying abroad also broadens your education and allows you to take different and new courses/seminars from those at your home university, which will in turn expose you to a new teaching and learning environment. Study abroad with us and you will be exposed to our friendly and supportive partner Institutes across the globe. As GCTU expands its international reach, the Office of International Programmes stands committed to help the institution become a “world-class” university by offering study abroad programmes that focus on quality, diversity and accessibility.

Types of Study Abroad

  • Summer Programmes
  • Year Abroad
  • Semester Abroad

Study abroad can be an excellent complement to your academic and professional career. You will return from studying abroad with a new sense of self, a focus on your academic and professional pursuits, and an appreciation of a different culture, language, and learning environment. Apart from helping you Change the way you see your world, study abroad allows you to:

  • Experience other cultures

  • Tour amazing sites
  • Make an invaluable investment in your future
  • Meet and network with thought leaders in business

Choosing to spend summer abroad is one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. Indeed, in our increasingly global society, choosing not to go abroad can put you at a disadvantage academically and professionally. Through our network of partners we offer summer programmes and short cultural exchange programmes in Europe, Asia and the USA providing students and professional with varied possibilities.
This summer 2018, GCTU presents two amazing destinations for students and professionals. Before you take the plunge, we encourage students and professionals to ask these important questions:

  • What do I want to accomplish abroad (e.g. continue with a foreign language, conduct research, build professional capacity, experience a new culture)?
  • What regions of the world interest me?
  • What type of programme fits my interests and needs?
