Global Wales Discover is a British Council-run programme funded by the Welsh Government and Global Wales, which provides funding for Welsh institutions to deliver short-term physical and virtual mobility opportunities for Welsh undergraduate students to work, study or volunteer in another country.
Welsh students can spend between two and eight weeks studying, working or volunteering globally.
For physical opportunities funding is available for living costs and travel expenses, whereas for virtual opportunities the funding is for programme fees.
For students, Global Wales Discover is a valuable opportunity to learn and discover, build skills and confidence, enhance employability and develop cultural awareness.
